I have a form set up in a Word document and I have saved the document as a
template. Whenever someone uses the template to create a new document, I
need the document to be numbered as, "1". When the next person uses the
template to create a new document, I need the document to be numbered as,
"2"
and so on. Any ideas on how to do this?
