Hello,

I have been looking for the DATAMATRIX font for a long time without success!
The datamatrix is a 2D barcode.

My goal is to create a data matrix in Word with fields from .XLS

Thank you for your help ...

    Hello and thank you again,

    What I'm not trying to do is read a DataMatrix, I'm trying to create one...
    - With Word using a font that I can't find...

    Thank you for your help...

      That's where it gets tricky... a QR code or a Data Matrix is not created with a font, as would be possible with a barcode http://www.codeodis.com/gratuite-libre-de-droit/police-code-barre.asp
      Due to the large amount of data contained in this type of code, a small program is needed to generate it...
      But it should be possible to script that in Excel...

      Ok, my question should be "does anyone know of a free program capable of generating DataMatrix compatible with Word?

      It's to convert a combination of fields (xls) from a "text" mail merge into DataMatrix."

      Compatible with Word... yes, since the result is an image... but I don't believe an image automatically gets placed in Word...

      The only free program I know of (generator and reader) is in Japanese: Psytec QR Code Editor.

      As for automating between Excel and Word... I'm skeptical.

    Hello.

    We do not have this information in CCM/Office.
    Check Google and https://www.dafont.com/fr/

      I have already looked at this site, they only present a barcode and not a 2D datamatrix.

      Thank you ++

    Indeed, there are free alternatives:
    http://www.code-qr.net/

    http://www.psytec.co.jp/ (there is somewhere a translated version in French, the link I had is dead... unfortunately)²²

    It works very well on Nokia phones!...
