labels and formulas
I need to print a label that has a chronological numbering format that
increases by changing the first number. EX: (it all has to be right aligned) -11450 -11453 -11456 -11459 -11451 -11454 -11457 -11460 -11452 -11455 -11458 -11461 I goto Toos/Letters & mailings/ Envelopes & labels and choose label 5267. Please let me know if there is a calculation or formula that I need to use to create this so that when I am done with one set of numbers on the label all I would have to do is change the first number and they all change instantly. Can you help me. Thank you. |

Hi Sponge,
You could use a series of SEQ fields, with the first one set to 11450 and the '-' outside the field. See Word's on-line help for more details. If you put the fields in a table, the sequencing goes across then down if you put each field in its own cell, and down then across if you put all the fields for a given column in separate paragraphs within a cell.

Dear Macropod,
Thank you for responding to my email. I am sorry to say however that the answer did not help me. I do not know if it is because I do not understand the answer. I looked in to the SEQ fields which according to the info online was under INSERT/ reference/ caption. I was not able to create what I need for my label and am not sure if I am doing it right. If you have any other suggestions that might help me I would ever so appreciative. Please let me know. Thank you. Cheers.

Although SEQ fields are used in captions, Insert | Reference | Caption is
not the only (or even the best) way to get a SEQ field. Use Insert | Field | Seq or just press Ctrl+F9 to insert field braces and type Seq \identifier between them. -- Suzanne S.
