Automatic numbering
I would like to print some tickets on business cards & have the ticket
number incriment automatically. When I use the field code {AutoNumLgl} each row has the same number. Is there a way to get each card with a different number? A follow up question if above is possible. How do I format numbers EG(00n) Bob |

: See http://www.gmayor.com/automatic_numbering_documents.htm Thanks Terry, Wow that is some macro just to incriment a number. There must be a simpler method. Using the registry for the base number!! I don't think so. Does anyone have any other ideas. Bob |

Automatic numbering
Type them in manually?
The macro works: what does it matter that it is complex if it works? It take just a few nanoseconds longer to copy and paste that a simpler (shorter) macro. Terry "Bob Hughes" wrote in message ...

Automatic numbering
That particular technique is more concerned with invoice/order numbering
(and you could store the number in a file rather than the registry - though what the problem with storing things in the registry is I cannot imagine. All applications store information in the registry. That's what it is for.) However for your particular requirement http://www.gmayor.com/Numbered_labels.htm would be a simpler alternative. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bob Hughes wrote: "Terry Farrell" wrote in news:4006ADFE-FC45-4203- : See http://www.gmayor.com/automatic_numbering_documents.htm Thanks Terry, Wow that is some macro just to increment a number.

Thank you both for replying. I actually went ahead & created an Excel file with the number sequence & then did a mail merge. This has the added advantage of creating the exect number of tickets I required. I did write a function to incriment number & then insert it, but I could not figure how to call it from word. I tried {=TicketNumber()} but that did not work, so I took the path of least resistance :-) Bob |
