1. A method for data interchange, comprising:
- accessing a first electronic document having at least one data field;
displaying the first electronic document to a user on a display;
receiving information inputted by the user into the at least one data field;
generating a bar code based on the at least one data field and the information inputted by the user into the at least one data field; and
storing the at least one data field and the information inputted by the user into the at least one data field.

Abstract
Data interchange is performed by opening a document having tagged information including data tags and data. The data, such as data associated with data fields is updated. A target, such as a bar code is generated based on the data tags and data. The updated data is stored and/or transmitted, electronically and/or using the target. For example, the target can be a bar code which can be printed.
