Probably the easiest way is to set up the tickets, or at least the
numbers, in Excel. Type 1 in the first cell and 2 in the second cell.
Select as many rows as you want ticket numbers, including the two you
already filled in. Go to Edit Fill Series, make sure the Step
value is 1, and click OK. Presto, sequence numbers.

You can format the cells in the font, size, etc. that you want. For
example, you can choose the Custom number format and set the format to
0000 so all the numbers will have four digits (0001, 0002, etc.)

Select all the cells and copy to the clipboard. Go to the Word
document and paste. The column should appear as a Word table
containing the numbers; if it appears as a piece of an Excel
worksheet, click Undo and then use Edit Paste Special As RTF
instead.

You can use Word's table formatting to set the row height, column
width, etc. and add other text to the cells.
