2. If you set an image width value, which is more than the minimum image width, Word Add-in will fill the difference with left and right margins generated automatically with the image width you set.

Word Codabar Bar Height Setting

The height of Codabar barcode image is made up of the following five parts:

Property Name	Property Description	Property Range
Bar Height	The height of the bars in Codabar	Float
Text Margin	The width of the space between barcode and text	Float
Text Height	The height of text font below the bars and spaces	-
Top Margin Width	The height of the top margin	Float
Bottom Margin Width	The height of the bottom margin	Float

The height of barcode image varies from the changing of the height of the text when font size and style changed. However, the image height should be 5 mm or 15% of the image width. Word Codabar can automatically make proper correction for your Codabar to be compatible with ISO / IEC 16388 (2nd edition 2007-05-15).
