XP MS WORD prints carriage return barcode character

I know this post is 4 years old, but since i spent 2 hours today trying to figure out the answer to this question and succeeded I will post the answer.

To eliminate the carriage from the code, simply type what you want the code to be

i.e.- *123456* and the carraige will remain on the end, then highlight the part of the barcode at the end which you know is the carriage, then under font style (the box to the left of the font you are using, select "Clear Formatting", this should remove the return carriage from the code sequence.

GL to anyone else who gets stuck.
