copy the formula down as many rows as required so that you end up with a
column of ascending numbers. Save this file and use it as a datasource

A formula is not necessary. Just put 1 in the first row and 2 in the second,
select both, and drag to AutoFill with as many ascending numbers as needed.

I would suggest that you create a document containing a 1 row two column
table in which you set the cell dimensions to match those that you have
specified for the stub and the ticket itself. Into each cell, insert the
information that you require on the ticket (including graphics if you
wish)
and then on the stub and the ticket itself, insert a {Mergefield Number }
field. Then create and Excel spreadsheet with the word Number in the
first
cell of the first column on the sheet, the number 1 in the second cell in
that column and a formula that adds 1 to that number in the third cell.
Now
copy the formula down as many rows as required so that you end up with a
column of ascending numbers. Save this file and use it as a datasource
for
a catalog (or in Word XP and later, it is called directory) type mailmerge
for which you use the above Word document as the main document. When you
execute the merge, it will create as many tickets as you have numbers in
the
Excel worksheet, each one consecutively numbered.

If you want to format the numbers such as 0000001, 0000002, etc. see

If you want to use graphics and need help with that, see the article
"Graphics on Labels" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at

This does NOT require a 5MB file!

ADDRESS, TOWN, STATE, ZIP, PHONE, & EMAIL & a perforation line. And a
MAIN
BODY, w/data areas indicated, but their contents could be user designed
w/MS-WORD & clip-art; where description of offerings / prizes, date,
place
&
time of drawing, cost per ticket & per book, and a sequential number
[indexed
& printed on each [stub & main body] pair]. Template provides the ticket
number sequencing functionality.
Overall length of [stub & main body] pair = 6"; Overall height = 2.5";
STUB
length = 2"; MAIN BODY length = 4". LAYOUT: 4 per 8.5x11" page.

Anything similar would be appreciated.
