Not really, everyone who is sent the bar code would also have to have the
font. We use Bar Code Pro to build the bar code and it creates a
vector-based EPS file that luckily doesn't rely on the font being loaded
to output the code.
Actually I just clarified a potential personal misnomer... I thought eps
files weren't very welcome in Word but the bar code file I just imported
into Word looked and printed fine! The only issue arose when I chose "Edit
Picture" to see if it was pixel or vector and Word changed it into a Word
Graphic which stuffed the bars up and made it not recognisable.
I've sent a test file to the client and if it's OK I won't need to employ
ANY automation processing the file, just locating and moving it...
Sometimes the best answer is the easiest one!
Cheers,
Coj
ps. Peter, you're right... JPEG isn't the best alternative graphics format
if the vector options failed.

Could you use a barcode font?
------------------------------
Hi Brett,
there is not much hope to find an easy eps-wmf convert solution!
EPS is "Encapsulated PostScript". It is made to be interpreted by a
postscript output device with a built-in postscript interpreter. It
is up o the creator how to use the postscript programing language to
create text, graphic and text for an eps file. This means the output
device or the converter must have a complete PS interpreter. Most PS
interpreters are made for raster output and I have never seen a ps to
'other graphic formats' converter that does a reliable job.
So I think if you can't use eps the best way would be to convert it
to an high-res image.
But I don't think that an JPEG is the appropriate format. JPEG is
good for landscape or portrait photographs, but not for line art. The
barcode is black & white. Only 1 bit per pixel is needed.
A 1 bit TIFF with LZW compression will have a far better quality
compared to a JPEG.
I'am not really sure about the file size, but I would bet the 1 bit
TIFF with LZW is equal or less compared to the JPEG.
