Ah. That's what I was getting at- you couldn't set the font to EAN-13 in Word and type in what you want, as with 3 of 9? (heh, I love ST, but I'm probably not a trekkie, as I wrote code39 first.

Am piqued as to how you've used CF to do it tho- surely not using HTML? Generate them as images or some such?
