Creating an EAN Bar Code in Excel

[Peter Davison]

I have a list of product EAN Bar Codes and I want to represent these as an actual bar code in the next column.
I've looked on google and there is so much stuff on downloading I am confused.
Does anyone recommend the best way to do this?
Thanks for any help.

you need a barcode font. The one you need will depend on the specific barcode type you have
A good one (that works for you) may take some time to come across. Especially if you are looking for a free one.

Thanks for your help
It is the EAN-8, EAN-13 that I'm looking for.
Any thoughts on the best place to download the font?
