No,
You could use a formula in the adjacent column.
If your data is in column 'a' then insert this formula into however
many cells in column 'b' =if($a2="","","*" & $a2 &"*").

You have gotten me another step forward James, now is there a way to default
the "*" into the cells and have the data to enter between them? This asking a
lot isn't it?

Did you include "*" before and after data.
Example: ="*" & a1 & "*" this cell will need to be formatted with the
barcode font of course.

After formating the cells with barcode fonts and entering barcode, using
barcode reader, I'm unable to read the printed sheet with the barcode reader.
Is this a local problem or is there something I'm forgeting to include in my
formating?
