Step 10: Click Insert to create the QR code in your Microsoft Office Package.
Step 11: If Insert doesn’t work, right-click the preview image and Copy it. Within the Microsoft Office Package, select Paste Special and select, Paste as Device Independent Bitmap.
You can also emulate Step 11 to paste the QR code within other Microsoft tools such as PowerPoint and Excel or embed it in a website.
Testing the QR Code
Before putting the QR code to use, it is important to test its functionality. You can do so with a mobile device. If you’re using an iOS device, this is quite easy as the Camera has an in-built feature that allows it to scan QR codes when enabled.
For Android 7.0 or lower version running phones, download a third-party app to scan a QR code. However, for phones running Android 8.0 and above, Google Screen Search or Google Lens should work to scan QR codes.
With that in mind, here’s how to test the QR code’s functionality.
Step 1: Launch a Camera or QR scanner ensuring the tool captures all 4 corners of the QR code.
Step 2: A pop-up to open the QR code should come up. Click on it and if it redirects you to the inserted website or text, then you can attest to the QR code’s functionality.
