The Bar Code screen has five tabs. When you add a bar code, you’ll use
the Content and Dimension tabs. The remaining tabs -- General, Size
and Location, and Font -- are mainly used to change default settings for
bar codes (see Editing bar codes on page 7-21).
Setting bar code content
Use the Content tab to set these options:
