I am trying to make a numeric field in Word that when I save and close and
reopen, the number field has increased by one number. For Example, a Purchase
Order form would have a PO # assigned and that number would auto sequence
each time opened. I have already tried "Insert Field" and selected SEQ but
get stuck from that point on. I can't get field to sequence up one number
each time. Thanks for anybody's help.

Tina,
I am no pro at this stuff either but I had asked the same question earlier
and this is the response I had gotten from a nice gentleman named Jay
Freedman. Check it out and see if it can help you. If not try again...This is
what he wrote;
