Word has no native ability to create barcodes other than an obsolete
form of the US Postal Service's PostNet code. You need some other
software to create barcodes as graphic files that can be inserted in
Word, or a barcode font that you can install in Windows and use in
text in Word.

See http://www.barcode-1.com/ for information and links to fonts and
software.
