Known Issues
===========================
- Error 5 ocurred when trying to Export barcode images to a MS Excel Spreadsheet. Restart Barcode Image Maker Pro. I didn't get the Error 5 after restart.
- Sequential ISBN filling in 978-0-11-111[NUM1]- doesn't add the checksum, the last digit. I recommend that you only use the Registration group element, Registrant element, Publication element, when making the ISBN barcode
- The Sequential ISBN, ISMN, ISSN need additional update as it doesn't add the checksum in the sequence to the text above the barcode, but the barcode can be made.
- If one of the Tabs in MS Excel contains 'Sheet' and 'Sheet (2)' and error could occure when opening the file, 'Sheet (2)' makes it fail, please rename the Tab.
