It worked!!!!!
Thank you so much.
I did have to 'tweak' the code so it didn't double up on the wording in
the
header, but other than that, it was absolutely brilliant!
I couldn't have done this without your help and expertise. All the time
and
effort you have provided is so appreciated and I'm sure other forum users
will find this such a help.
Many thanks,

I have just spotted another glitch

Change both instances of

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = sPath & "Drier 2 System Isolations " _
& Format(CertNo, "200#")
.Show
End With

to

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = sPath & "Drier 2 System Isolations " _
& Format(ActiveDocument.Variables("varSaveNo"), "200#")
.Show
End With

Oops! My fault. The following version should fix the renumbering
issues.
Do note however that when inserting the number as plain text (as in
this
instance) you cannot change the number of the current document. (see
later)


Option Explicit
Private CertNo As String
Private oHeader As Range
Private sName As String
Private oVars As Variables
Const sPath = "S:\HLZ1-Hamilton\Morrinsville\MORRINS\Systems
Isolations\"
Sub AutoNew()
Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables
CertNo = System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber")
If CertNo = "" Then
CertNo = 1
Else
CertNo = CertNo + 1
End If
oVars("varCertNo").Value = CertNo
If ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterF irstPage).Exists
Then
Set oHeader =
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterF irstPage).Range
Else
Set oHeader =
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterP rimary).Range
End If
With oHeader
.Text = "Certificate No: " & Format(CertNo, "200#")
.Font.Bold = True 'of the inserted header
.Font.Italic = False 'if required
.Font.Size = "16"
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
End With
System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber") = CertNo
End Sub
Sub SaveCertificateAs()
CertNo = System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber")
If Not ActiveDocument.Path = "" Then
ActiveDocument.Save
Else
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = sPath & "Drier 2 System Isolations " _
& Format(CertNo, "200#")
.Show
End With
End If
ActiveDocument.Close
End Sub

Sub AutoClose() 'Recycles number if document unsaved.'
Set oVars = ActiveDocument.Variables
CertNo = System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber")
If Len(ActiveDocument.Path) = 0 Then
If MsgBox("This Certificate has not been saved." & vbCr & _
"Do you want to save before closing?", _
vbYesNo, "MacroSettings") = vbYes Then
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = sPath & "Drier 2 System Isolations " _
& Format(CertNo, "200#")

End With
Else
If CertNo = oVars("varCertNo") Then
MsgBox "The current number " & _
"will be recycled.", vbOKCancel, _
"Recycle"
System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber") = CertNo - 1
End If
End If
ActiveDocument.Saved = True
End If
End Sub

Sub ResetStartNo()
CertNo = System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _

CertNo = InputBox("Reset next certificate number?", "Reset", CertNo)
System.PrivateProfileString(sPath & _
"Drier 2 System Isolations Sequence.ini", _
"MacroSettings", "CertificateNumber") = CertNo - 1
End Sub

Having looked again at the macros, I felt that it might make more
sense
to the user to insert the number with a docvariable field rather than
as
plain text. This allows the current document to be updated when the
number is reset. It needed a few extra lines of code to ensure that
documents displayed and were saved with the right number, but the
principles involved are much the same. I am however puzzled why you
format the numbers as 200#. Why not simply set the start number as
2001?
However I have left it as you had it.

I am so grateful for all the help.
This is absolutely brilliant!!
Only one thing that won't work properly is the recycling of the
number.
It
will ask if I want to save changes and I choose 'no' then asks 'Do I
want to
recycle the number? (e.g 2001) and I say 'yes' but when the doc
template
is
opened for the next document to be generated, it has the next number
as
'2002' not '2001'. Have I missed something yet again?
Sorry if I am not quite getting it.
Thanks in advance
