Can a barcode be converted back to another font like Arial?

I saw this on your website:
"The data is formatted for the selected barcode type and when the appropriate font is applied to it. Once the data is changed to a barcode, it cannot be modified to another barcode type. This can instead be achieved by clicking the undo button several times until the data is changed back to the original data before formatting. "

Where is the "undo" button?

Thank you

Ben	Best Answer The barcode font can be converted to any available font type, including Arial. For example, in MS Word, a barcode (created using a barcode font) is converted to Arial: Code 39 Font: Arial Font: The Undo button in MS Word (2013) is at: NOTE: In older versions of Word, it will be a blue arrow near the top left of your screen. It is also possible to perform a Ctrl+Z. Posted 11.7 year(s) ago (0) (0) Report Abuse

The data "I'BE'VI" is the encoded data. The Barcode Add-In has two functions: (1) encode the data and (2) apply the barcode font. When you perform and undo, then the encoded data is displayed and the font will display as a system font, such as Arial or Times New Roman.

Thanks for the quick response. Mine doesn't convert back to other fonts. For example, in Excel, when I type in "12345", then select "change to barcode", it converts to the barcode, then I try to change back to Arial and it gives me something like "I'BE'VI". Could it be an installation problem?
