Such a facility would be a great asset for OOo. I have a couple of suggestions:
As requested by kpalagin, where available, include freely distributable versions
of the fonts in the OOo install package and include the encoding macros in the
standard OOo macro modules.
Commercial font vendors already provide fonts and macros for OOo Calc but these
are not easily used from within Writer, so a mechanism to allow this would
facilitate and increase the value of existing commercial support for OOo.
For mail merges, to use either the free or commercial barcode encoding macros it
is currently necessary to set up a separate spreadsheet as a data source to call
the macros to calculate the barcode encodings. To eliminate this step, consider
extending the functionaility of formulas in text documents (F2 function) to
enable them to call parameterised macros (as can be done in spreadsheet cells)
specifying another document field or data source field reference as arguments.
I.e. to extend the predefined function set to include user-defined functions and
accept field references.
A fast access entry in the Insert - Fields menu for barcodes could perhaps call
a wizard to make this easier as a special case, and could handle both one-off
barcode requirements and mail merge barcode field insertions.
