Printing Bar Codes

[GCC Consulting]

George,

I have been using Jim's method to print labels and have found it a very
effective way to control how the labels print even when changing font sizes.

The only difference is that the labels print down the first column and the print
the next column etc.  This also work quite nicely for address labels.
