I use word to print shipping labels from my label printer. On very large
shipments, I have been printing the labels and then hand writing "box 1 of
30, box 2 of 30, etc". I was wondering if there is a way I can type in the
number of labels needed, and it would automatically insert the numbers
sequentially.

I would appreciate any info, as this would save me a lot of time.

Thank you,
Heather

Easiest thing is to probably set up a datasource in Excel and use that as a
basis for mailmerging the labels.

See the article "Mail Merge to Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham
