    EAN-13 barcode

    I have purchased an EAN-13 barcode. However, when I try to insert it into CorelDRAW I am asked to supply 12 digits.

    My EAN-13 barcode consists of 13, NOT 12, digits. What do I do?

    Thanks,

    Phil

    The 13th digit is a checksum digit calculated from the first 12. Try
    entering the first twelve into the bar code wizard and you should find that
    the 13th will be there when done.

    Not a problem. That's the one bar code I know well. :)
