Default Creating sequentially numbered tickets in Word

You need a Next record field ( { NEXT } field ) at the beginning of
tickets 2,3, and 4 in your mail merge main document.

e.g. click at the beginning of ticket 2, use ctrl-F9 to insert a pair of
the special field code braces {}, and type NEXT between them. Then
repeat for tickets 3 and 4.

I am creating tickets using Word. I have designed the ticket and have 4
tickets to a page. I have created a lits of 1-200 to merge into the tickets.
When I preview the merge all 4 tickets on the first page are numbered 1, all
4 tickets on the next page are numbered 2, etc. What I want to happen is the
4 tickets on page 1 are numbered 1 through 4. The next 4 tickets on page 2
are numbered 5-8, etc. Is this possible?
