How do you insert automatice numbering on labels?
I am working in a law office and we handling documents in litigation cases.
We want to create "bates labels" using the 80 labels per page. On these labels we insert alpha letters to designate a person and numbers for the pages. We want to be able to print pages at a time that will automatically update as you move to each label. For example: ABC 001 through ABC 080 on the first page, and then move to the second page and it will continue the numbering. |

How do you insert automatice numbering on labels?
What I would do, is create your numbering in an Excel Spreadsheet and
then perform a Mail Merge to your labels to generate your Bates Numbering System. To do that, inside of Excel in Column A, Row 1 Type in: Bates No Press Enter to select Column A, Row 2 and Type in: ABC001 Press Enter to select Column A, Row 3 and Type in: ABC002 Then select both cells with your Bates Numbers, and drag the lower left corner of the selection until you have the required number of Bates Numbers. Then save your Excel Sheet and use the following tutorial to generate you merged Bates Labels: http://www.personal-computer-tutor.com/mailmerge.htm If you want a more robust method of creating your Bates Labels, then you will need to explore VBA for generating your numbers. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How do you insert automatice numbering on labels?
I had another thought: You could use the SEQ field.
Insert your Field braces by pressing CTRL+F9 Place your cursor inside the Braces and type in: SEQ Bates \# "ABC 000" Press F9 to update the field. You will see ABC 000 in your document. Copy that and paste it onto your labels. They will all say ABC 000. Select all of them. (CTRL+A) and Update them by pressing F9. Now they will say ABC 001; ABC 002; etc. BTW You can type anything after the SEQ field. It's just a name. So you could have Smith_v._Jones (no spaces allowed) -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

If you merge a SEQ field you will get the numbers restarting after each page
break.
