does excel support barcode scanning?

I wish to use excel for inventory and would like to use a barcode scanner to
import serial numbers etc. Can you do this in excel?

Hello,

Barcode scanner is just like a keyboard, so it should work in any
application which supports keyboard (accepts keyboard input). A customer of
mine asked me to test his barcode scanner, and I just tested the scanner in
Excel, Word, Notepad and Wordpad. Worked perfectly.

Best Regards

Hey Joe,
Thanks for the reply.Sorry about the lameness of the question but how did
you test it within excel, how do you get the information into those various
applications?

Hello,

Just scanned some barcode. In Excel and all applications I tested, whatever
I scanned went to the active position of the cursor.

Best Regards

You may need to ensure that a "barcode" font is loaded in the font directory.
