    This document provides instructions on how to read serial port data in Excel 2007 using the StrokeReader ActiveX control. It describes how to insert the control, set its properties to connect to a serial port, and use VBA code to receive incoming barcode data and write it to cells. The code accumulates incoming data, looks for line feed characters to separate barcodes, and stores the barcodes in consecutive cells as they are received. This allows Excel to read data from devices like barcode scanners in real-time.
