    I just right clicked on the coupon, then 'save picture as'.
    Saved it to the desktop, then opened a blank 'word' document, and dragged the coupon(s) onto it (adjusted it to just under quarter page size).

    The print out seems clear enough, and I'll be trying it on saturday to see if it scans ok.

    There is a bit of a long-winded way of getting around barcodes that won't scan and that's to google "barcode generator". You then put the barcode number in and it will generate the matching barcode for you, which you can then superimpose onto the existing coupon - having saved it in Excel first, you can then simply copy and paste it into Excel, make it the size you want and drag it on top of the existing barcode.

    As I say, a bit long-winded, but will help anyone nervous about using one that won't scan etc.

    Actually have just done it and it's taken me about 2 mins (But I already had it saved in Excel)

    thing is i dont think you ought to promote it to people to do that as it could be potentially fraud...i mean if its that easy as you say whats stopping people to alter the barcode altogether....mmm dodgy ground here definately.

    I didn't see anything wrong with it, as long as you didn't use it to creat your own bar code (even if, it will not work at all,I think. Then it is fraud.). But the bar code is given by the company and what you do is only make it clear and can be scanned, as long as you didn't change anything at all I dont think it could be fraud. :rolleyes:
