I created tickets for an event at church using Word. It has numbers on it
because we will have door prizes. Is there a way that I can have it
automatically number them. I used a template in word under tickets and it
shows numbers. Right now I would have to manually change each number, any
suggestions.

I assume that each ticket has a pair of matching numbers. These pairs can
be created with paired SEQ fields. Enter a pair of field braces using
CTRL+F9. Inside the braces type SEQ Left. It will look like this:

{ SEQ Left }

Enter another pair of field braces and type in SEQ Right e.g., { SEQ
Right }

Select All (CTRL+a) and then update fields (F9).

You now have a numbered right and left pair. You can copy and paste these
pairs to the other tickets. Just select all (CTRL+a) and update fields (F9)
when you are done.

You can format the number using a format switch e.g., you can use a format
like 001 or you could start with a number 1001. Just add the switch to the
field code { SEQ Left \# 1001 }

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR
