As you probably already have noticed, they are everywhere. A smart way of identification. In my work at Swedens biggest hypermarket chain I use them in many different ways.
There are several types of barcodes and the way of using them is different throughout the world, so you should make sure you have the right code before using it!
If you know Swedish you could contact Stiftelsen Svenska EAN-kommittén for more information. They are very helpful.

  Make your own EAN 13 barcodes with these Truetype and Type 1 fonts. The logaritm for generating the European Article Numbering code is a bit complex, but on request I’ll try to translate it for you. Unless you speak Swedish of course (wouldn’t it be convenient if everyone did) then I’ll mail it to you at once.
The easiest way is to use my Word for Windows 6.0 macro.
  Macro for use with Word for Windows 6.0. Enter the 13-digit EAN-number and the macro generates the EAN code.
For the moment only in Swedish, but I’ll try to translate it into English. Then I need you (who have the English version of Word) to test the macros for me. Mail me if you’re interested.

  Make your own ITF barcodes (without the digits underneath) with these Truetype and Type 1 fonts. The logaritm for generating the Interleaved Two of Five code is even more complex than the EAN and I won’t even try to explain it to you.
Use my Word for Windows 6.0 macro for generating the code.
  Macro for use with Word for Windows 6.0. Enter the 14-digit ITF-number that you want to be coded and the macro generates the barcode.
I made this macro in a hurry to use at work and it only works with complete ITF-numbers of 14 digits. It does not generate the check digit.
For the moment only in Swedish, but I’ll try to translate it into English. Then I need you (who have the English version of Word) to test the macros for me. Mail me if you’re interested.
