   Did you know that #LibreOffice has a built-in QR and barcode generator? Now you do 😉 https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/qrcode.html #foss #opensource

     @libreoffice I would love to see #LibreOffice include US postal coding for addresses (the coding just above the mailing address). I know there are some add-on that do this, but they have not worked for me in my experience.

     That's cool!

     If you want something lighter, you can use the barcode plugin with #TiddlyWiki to generate barcodes right in your browser!
     The bar code plugin is already installed on the demo page at TiddlyWiki.com.

     There's also the ability to read-in bar codes from your camera. (To be honest, I haven't tried this yet).

     @libreoffice It might be useful to mention that "barcode" produces a Code128 barcode, rather than any other type.

     Apologies for nit-picking, but your help page says the menu choice is "OLE Object" when it is in fact just "Object".

     @jgamble It says "OLE Object" here (LibreOffice 24.2). What version are you using, on what operating system?

     Latest LMDE, latest or nearly so Libreoffice (it's Saturday morning my time, I am not turning on the computer for a while).

     I have to ask: why on Earth would LO choose to add the adjective "OLE"? It adds no useful information (even for Windows users) and merely clutters up the menu list.

     @edi Not a missed chance – an opportunity for someone to add it! We do all we can, but we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. If you'd like that extra feature, please help us to implement it 😊 https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/

     Yes, but it can't generate QR codes from the contents of cells in Calc. That's a missed chance.
