Default merge sequence field

i have downloaded an invoice template and have added mail merge properties to
it. when it comes to the merge sequence field, it will escalate the invoice
numbers beginning with the number 1. how do i change the number to begin
with something else? i know there is a way; i just dont remember. also,
using word 2007

Default merge sequence field

You can use an ASK field to get the start number and a formula field to
perform the calculation eg

{ ASK StartNo "Start Number" \o }{ =({ MERGESEQ } + { StartNo } - 1) }
