I hope that I didn't upset you with my insessent questions, but I am going
to repost this:
I am probably beginning to sound really stupid. So let me see if I have it
from the beginning.
First I open a template (.dot) which automatically creates a document (.doc)
that has a name "Document* (* = the number of the document opened and saved)
then in that document I go to File New which opens a task pane that I then
click on the Link for "On my Computer", I then receive a new Template (.dot)
named "path0*****.dot, I then set my bookmark where I want the sequential
numbers and then Go to Tools Macro Macros and am given a choice in the
window that opens a blank space for Macro name, a bigger area that has
AutoExec.MAIN, AutoExit.MAIN, and RunFineReader, with active buttons
"Create", "Organizer", and "Close".
Logic tells me that I would then "Create" AutoNew. This then opens Microsoft
Visual Basic which has a panel that has a choice of "FineReader6SprintTools",
"Normal", "Project (Document 1)" (with no modules), "TemplateProject (Live
Meeting Toolbar Customizations)" and finally "TemplateProject (SerRepCon)"
[the name of the original template], both the "Project (Document 1)" and the
"TemplateProject (SerRepCon)" have "ThisDocument" when opening "Microsoft
Word Objects". Which one do I use?
The code window that opens caries the header of whichever main catagory is
highlighted. This is the window that I put the AutoNew language.
After this is done I would then click on the Save icon on the toolbar in
Microsoft Visual Basic and shut window. then I would go to File SaveAs and
name the document the same as the name used in the Macro before "sequence".
Is this correct? Inf not Please correct within the messege.

I have a template that has a space for a number. I want each
successive document opened using that template to have a new number
that is the next number in sucession, i.e. - after opening 20071001,
the next time that I access that template should open 2001002.
