how do I automatically re-number my doc each time it's opened?
Jay,
Thank you for the time to share the information I needed, one thing though, after going to the link I did exactly what it told me to do and it is still not working. And in the Autonew VBA there is a (Order, "00#") is that my starting number? As I need to start with number 2536. Please help...

I'm sorry, but "not working" isn't enough information to diagnose the
problem. Do you get any error message when you make a new document based on the template? If so, what is the *exact* wording of the message? Does the macro editor open and highlight any particular line of the code? If neither of those things happens, then what does happen? To answer your other question, no, the "00#" is not the starting number. Find the lines If Order = "" Then Order = 1 Else and change the number 1 to 2536. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I don't know what that error number means. The highlighted line is
trying to save the updated number into the file C:\Settings.txt. Maybe there's some problem with that file path. Try making it some other path, such as C:\Documents and Settings\Settings.txt. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

how do I automatically re-number my doc each time it's opened?
Thank you once again...I got it to work this morning where it automatically
saves under the proper number and location. The only thing left to do is to is to find out how to get it to activate upon opening without me having to go through the steps of opening and running the macro. Any suggestions?

how do I automatically re-number my doc each time it's opened?
If the macro is named AutoNew, as it was in the article, it will run
automatically when you use the File New command to create a new document based on the template (as explained in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...entEvents.htm). The macro should run _only_ when the document is first created. That places the sequence number in the document at the bookmark, and it will stay there permanently. The macro should _not_ run when you reopen an existing document, because you don't want to replace the assigned number with a new one. If that isn't the behavior you're seeing, there may still be something wrong with the way your template is set up. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
