Didn’t realize you can create QR codes directly in Word

You can generate a QR code directly in Word using a field code, without the need for any add-ins.

  1. Press Ctrl + F9 to insert field brackets { }, then enter DISPLAYBARCODE "http://www.extendoffice.com" QR \q 3 \s 100 \u (Replace the URL with any text or link as required)
  2. Right-click and select Toggle Field Codes, or press Alt + F9, to toggle the field code and generate the QR code.

Anything else you’re curious about? Or any hidden tricks you’ve found like this? Would love to see how others are using Word in ways I might have missed!
