[PREM]

Hey guys, right now, I am using MS Word 2007 to issue receipts. However, I
have a little issue with this. Whenever I need to issue a new receipt, I have
to manually increase the receipt number by 1.

For example, the first receipt I issue might have the receipt number
"201001". When I need to issue the next receipt, I need to open the file and
manually increase the receipt number to "210102". Sometimes I forget to do
this and this leads to a number of problems.

My question is, is it possible to make the receipt number update itself
automatically every time I open it, such that it automatically increases by 1?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Prem

Hi I read through the article but I am not sure what to do.

Right now, My invoice number (201000795) is listed at the top right-hand
corner of the document. So do I highlight the number and then insert the
bookmark as mentioned??

And then do I enter the macro:

Sub AutoNew()

Order = System.PrivateProfileString("C:\Settings.Txt", _
"MacroSettings", "Order")

If Order = "" Then
Order = 1
Else
Order = Order + 1
End If

System.PrivateProfileString("C:\Settings.txt", "MacroSettings", _
"Order") = Order

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Order").Range.InsertBefo re Format(Order, "00#")
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="path" & Format(Order, "00#")

End Sub

Cause I tried that but nothing worked.

After the macro has run once, and created the text file, you can edit the
number in the file (just open it in NotePad).

Add the following to a new module in the invoice template (not the normal
template) - http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
Add a bookmark called InvoiceNo at the place you want the number to appear.
Save the template
Run the macro ResetStartNumber to set the start number (if other than 1)
Close the template
Create a new document from the the template. It will be numbered with either
1 or the start number you have set.
To change the number, run the reset macro again, and run the AddNumber macro
to change the bookmarked number.
You will find a slight variation of this technique at
http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm#Number and more on numbering at
http://www.gmayor.com/automatic_numbering_documents.htm

Option Explicit
Private SettingsFile As String
Private Order As String
Private oRng As Range
Private iStart As Integer
Sub AutoNew()
AddNumber
End Sub
Sub AddNumber()
'Save invoice number in the Word startup folder.
SettingsFile = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdStartupPath) & "\Settings.ini"
'or the Workgroup folder
'SettingsFile = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdWorkgroupTemplatesPath) &
"\Settings.ini"

Order = System.PrivateProfileString(SettingsFile, _
"InvoiceNumber", "Order")
If Order = "" Then
Order = 1
Else
Order = Order + 1
End If
'Requires a bookmark called 'InvoiceNo' at the location where the number is
to be placed.
System.PrivateProfileString(SettingsFile, "InvoiceNumber", _
"Order") = Order
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InvoiceNo").Range
oRng.Text = Format(Order, "#")
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="InvoiceNo", Range:=oRng
End Sub

Sub ResetStartNumber()
SettingsFile = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdStartupPath) & "\Settings.ini"
'or the Workgroup folder
'SettingsFile = Options.DefaultFilePath(wdWorkgroupTemplatesPath) &
"\Settings.ini"
Order = System.PrivateProfileString(SettingsFile, _
"InvoiceNumber", "Order")
If Order = "" Then Order = 1
Order = InputBox("Enter start number", , Order + 1)
System.PrivateProfileString(SettingsFile, "InvoiceNumber", _
"Order") = Order - 1
End Sub
