How do I set up automatic numbering?
Good morning Charles,
Actually, I am not familiar with either VBA or macros in Word. I have tried both and in VBA it doesn't do anything but my question is should I create an AutoNew macro or a AutoOpen with all the language? What is th easier way to do it? Should the P.O. number be pudated each time I open the document? Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the delay in answering. Adeline "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Sorry, I do not.

How do I set up automatic numbering?
Put it in a template as an AutoNew macro. Users start a new document using:
File New and picking your template. A macro is visual basic for applications (vba). The number should be updated each time you create a new purchase order, not each time you look at an existing one, I suspect. I can't teach you the ins and outs of programming long distance. Here are some links to get you started: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...csIn15Mins.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oToToolbar.htm I got those links from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/index.htm.
