sequential numbering

As far as I know this cannot be done directly through VDP but I have done this in the past using Publisher (yes Publisher – I know, but it does mail merge well) and an Excel file. I had my IT guy write an Excel program that asked for Qty, starting #, #up on sheet and # of parts then it would make a print ready numbers sheet.

However, using Styles with Numbering can make this a little less annoying. Once your document is complete, the last step should be to fix the tab and update the style. It will at least prevent you from having to change each paragraph individually.

2. Yes, The code should be entered using CodeBuilder. Where you enter it depends on how and when you want to trigger the generation of the next number. If you want to use a button, that works. And no, you don’t use 000 in the NZ() function. If you want to DISPLAY at least 3 digits with leading zeros, then you do that in the Format function. Note, though, you will need to change that when you hit 1000 POs.

If the numbers appear to be cut off, adjust the formatting and layout of your publication. For example, you may need to increase the size of the text box that contains the data field for your tracking number, or you might need to decrease the font size of the data field.

The user will then see a list of the combinations of to choose from, but the combo will return the autonumber RecordID to use to select the record. In fact, you can use the combobox wizard to create a search combo.

there.. i’ve tried using recording Action but it didn’t help me.. T.T also i don’t have any idea on how to use script, (if i have to use script, can you instruct me on a step-by-step procedure or atleast pinpoint me to a thread that explains it, because the ticket’s deadline is on May 4th, and again i have 12,500 tickets to make)

In data structures, a data structure is said to have sequential access if one can only visit the values it contains in one particular order. The canonical example is the linked list. Indexing into a list that has sequential access requires O(n) time, where n is the index. As a result, many algorithms such as quicksort and binary search degenerate into bad algorithms that are even less efficient than their naive alternatives; these algorithms are impractical without random access. On the other hand, some algorithms, typically those that do not have index, require only sequential access, such as mergesort, and face no penalty.

I set the field default value to “1” and I put in the code exactly as you gave it to me. Then I printed 3 copies to make a test. What was supposed to happen was that the first copy have a “1”, the second a “2”, the third a “3”. Instead all 3 copies had a “2”.

Sometimes, however, the field codes seem lazy about updating. Don’t worry, they still work. (For instance, if you print your document, your field codes will update when you do Print Preview if you’ve set fields to update before printing.) But to set your mind at ease and get everything just right, there’s a quick fix.

Law firms use numbered lists daily to prepare contracts, pleadings, letters and memos. Word makes activating and customizing numbering fairly straightforward. You can create simple numbered lists, such as A, B, C and 1, 2, 3. You can also customize these lists to setup specific numbering styles for your firm and practice group. Multilevel lists such as I, A, 1 are handled through Word’s Outline Numbering feature, which is explained later in this chapter. Many firms rely on outline http://ringringpromotions.org lists to draw up contracts and pleadings. Like numbered lists, outline numbered lists can be customized.

A Sequence field tracks differently numbered lists within a document. Combining Sequence fields and AutoText entries give you a fast and easy way to insert Interrogatories, Requests for Production, and Requests for Admission.

CK NOTE: Before attempting troubleshooting, read the article listed in the additional reading “Word’s Numbering Explained.” After you read that article, you may also want to look at the following links to some discussions on the Microsoft newsgroups on numbering.

By the way, there’s another, simpler, free script (called LotteryNumbers, from Loic Aigon at Ozalto) which purely creates sequences that increase by 1 and can contain trailing zeros (if required) — this is also great for most numbering purposes.

Thanks for the auto numbering info. I got it to work, well sort of. We have a set of interrogatories already set up without auto numbering. Do I have to change each interrogatory question in order to get them to auto number?

In the example I explained, I was using a list, but did it with un-linked text boxes using “continue from previous number” and “continue numbers across stories.” I’m guessing that there is no way to tell InDesign that even though there are 4 text boxes on the page, that there are two different lists? I’d probably have to just create two threaded stories for that scenario to work.

I have a large job for a client who uses antique computers. They are so old that he can’t run Lightroom. As a workaround, I posted the images I wanted him to look at on SmugMug and we had a disaster. Their sequencing on screen does not match my “as shot” sorting on my Lightroom (4). Is there a way I can print sequential serial numbers/ids on my images before I upload them to SmugMug so we are always talking about the same image?

Note: As you drag the fill handle across each cell, Excel displays a preview of the value. If you want a different pattern, drag the fill handle by holding down the right-click button, and then choose a pattern.

Now Cir2 will be the circle immediately to the right of Cir 1, and will start at 4043.  The same circle on page 2 will be 4044, page 3 same circle will be 4045, etc.  Cir3 will start at 4084 and end at 4126, etc, etc, etc.

3. Formatting these page numbers is as easy as formatting any other text. Change the font family and size, color, and whatever you like, and all changes will be applied to all pages. You can add hyphens around the edges, underline, or do anything else you think will make the page numbers look appropriate to the layout.

I’m trying to make a booklet on Legal-size paper in Publisher that folds from the top edge like a calendar instead of from the size. I’ve tried all kinds of Page Setup options, but I can’t seem to get the program to recognize what I’m trying to do.

Tip: If your data source contains records that share the same information, and there are ten or fewer unique values in the column, you can filter by specific information. For example, if there are multiple records that list Australia as the country/region, you can filter on Australia.

Type “seq ” followed by the name of the element. This name is up to you, but should be the same for each item in this sequence. For instance, you could type “seq figures” or “seq tables” (without the quote marks).

If you don’t want to use one of the existing bullet characters, you can add other bullet characters to the Bullet Character grid. A bullet character that is available in one font may not be available in another font. You can choose whether the font is remembered with any bullet character you add.

CK Note: I strongly recommend reading the following article. It may save your sanity (or at least your job). See Word’s Numbering Explained by John McGhie. Somewhat easier reading and still very useful are Shauna Kelly’s articles (see above) on outline numbering and bullets.

By simply pressing a button in the handle, the portable inkjet printer indexes the next serial number. The unit can be programmed to count up, or count down – as well as being able to start at a certain number in case you need to continue from a previous set of sequential numbering.

Ok, so what don’t you understand in the blog? You will need to create a new field for the sequence number. But the blog explains how to set this all up. If there is anything specific you are having trouble with, feel free to ask.

Rhonda, Thank you for your amazingly quick and thorough reply! You are correct, Word does the Table and Figure numbering splendidly. I was trying to reference those numbers in the text, which I see is a function done quite well in Word using Cross Reference: ‘In Word 2007 and 2010: Display the References tab. In the Captions group, click on the Cross-reference button.’ Thanks again, Joshua.

Sequential/Serial numbering is available on many products such as business cards, flyers, and posters (at an additional cost) but can only be done with our Digital Output printing service (not available with Offset Output). This service is not included as standard on our products and requires a Custom Print Quote.

This tip is great but it doesn’t tell me how to start w/a number other than 1. I need to create a sheet of numbered labels starting w/1702. No matter how I enter it the only number that changes sequentially is the 1st number so my second label is 2702

Generally, when you want to change the formatting of some text, you have to select it with the Type tool. However, there are two caveats to this statement. First, because paragraph formatting (which we’ll discuss later) always applies to an entire paragraph, you don’t have to select every http://ringringpromotions.org in the paragraph before applying it.

As I indicated, because you want to only generate this number just before saving, I would put this code behind a Save button or another event that runs just before you save the record. So if you want to prevent duplications, you don’t use the expression as a control source, but put the code behind a button or event. Since you have a Save button, put it there.

While Automatic Numbering is very useful, there are times when you may want to freeze numbers. This cannot be easily undone, but the process is described here: Converting Automatic Numbering to Manual Numbering

I need a running number from 1001-1200, so after I apply the print merge, it creates 200pgs of the voucher.When I try to save this file, it takes almost half an hour to do so.I think this is due to the heavy file size?In addition, the local print shop knows nothing about print merge and imposition, so I have to prepare the artwork readily in A3 size to print.The imposition creates a 10pgs files.I wanted to save this as PDF to preserve the color, but it turned out to be a nightmare (in daytime) for me that it takes more than2 hours to generate the 10pgs PDF.

Type the starting number for your document or for the first page of the current section. For example, if you want to restart the numbering for a section, type 1 . The remaining pages in the section will be renumbered accordingly.

i’m new in Smoke, and in the first time i’m learning the conform and editing tools,one thing i’m looking for is how to sequential rename my shots in the timeline, i found this article in the forum but it’s for the 2012 and i didn’t found this tool in the 2013 version. URL….

The fastest way to get numbers into your document is to click the Numbering button on the Formatting toolbar. This button gives you either Word’s default numbering scheme in your document (1, 2, 3) or the last numbering scheme used during this session of Word. Word’s default numbers are Arabic numerals followed by a period.

In the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, you can select the tracking codes that you want to include in the merge. Select the check boxes next to the records that you want to include, and clear the check boxes next to the records that you want to exclude.

Finally,you said: “I’m not sure how the display would work as far as searching for specific Artifact IDs in the future.”. This will not be a problem. The best solution is to use a combobox to select the Artifact ID. The relevant properties of that combo would be:

Here, the field code SEQ is the winning choice. SEQ is a sequence numbering code often used for things like figures or illustrations (think “Figure 1”). What makes it an ideal choice here is the ability to name each sequence separately. In other words, we can define one numbering sequence for interrogatories, another one for requests for production, and a third one for requests for admission. Microsoft Word will be able to keep each numbering sequence separate because each will have a distinct name.

Right now it is just one page, so I am guessing I would need to duplicate the page X amount of times to get up to the number I want. In the past I have just printed the one page multiple times but then I would think this way I would get several copies with codes 1001 – 1010.

Before you complete the merge, preview the merge results to make sure that the tracking numbers will display as you want them to in your publications. You can preview the merge in two ways: While you are refining the layout to review the layout of the individual coupon or gift certificate, or when you are getting ready to print, to preview the arrangement of coupons or gift certificates on the printed sheet.

* Place the insertion point at the beginning of the Number field, choose Insert Number Placeholder > Level 1 (or just type ^1), and then insert a period. ^1.^#.^m means the first level (1) will be followed by a period, which will be followed by the current level number (2), which will be followed by a period, which will be followed by an em space.

Word’s Numbering Explained by John McGhie, MVP – comprehensive and not pretty (Downloadable pdf file in letter size) – Reading this is vital to anyone attempting to use automatic numbering or bullets in a law office setting or other places where the documents are likely to be reused or heavily edited. See also How to Create a Template with a downloadable template with style-based numbering. I strongly recommend that you read both of these before doing anything with the contents of this chapter.

Here is my problem. i have a series of 3 digit numbers that need to be cinverted to a series of 4 digit numbers using this following 722 needs to read as 5622 and in the next collum SV-7822 in the collum’s to the right. what type of formula is this and how can i do it? The above is an example, i have a whole range of 3 digit numbers that need the exact. rules applied to all numbers. which is why i need a formula to do it. Help someone please!!!! I’m not completely clear on what your looking for but if 722 was in A1 in B1: = A1 + 4900 in B2: = =”SV-” & A1 + 7100…

it can be done with almost any software that has print merge function (we use corel draw a lot for such jobs). you create a excel file with numbers, and merge them into design. once you learn it it is easy and fast.

I have to print a 1 page pdf document. But I want there to be on top of the page a sequential number that would appear when I print for example 500 copies. There would be 001 on the first, 002 on the second, etc…

I work with CorelDraw X5 and I wonder if there is a way to insert an application of page numbering that is automatic, which automatically update the page when I add or remove a page, as in the word.I got a number through the macros but the problem is the numbers are fixed and not change. And numeracy not appear on new pages.

I have a table named Artifact Catalog in which there is a field Collection Point ID and a field Artifact ID. On the form I have created the user will input the Collection Point ID, for example: 2-1050. I need to find a way to have this Collection Point ID automatically generate a corresponding Artifact ID, i.e when you click the save button the first record under Artifact ID becomes: 2-1050.1 and the second becomes 2-1050.2 and so on.

Short of doing it manually (!), Linc, I’d suggest you experiment with some of the number formatting switches for a field code, as described here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/insert-and-format-field-codes-HA010338798.aspx#BM8.

Yes, I have used this system in a multi-user setting. As noted, the key is to commit the record immediately after generating the sequence. However, if the application is one where there is very heavy transaction processing. In other words dozens of users creating records simultaneously, you might want to guard further against duplication. At the speeds computers process, it is not impossible that multiple users will grab the max value before it can be incremented and saved.

Hi Scott you helped me with the sequential numbering however, I am having a problem where I changed from before insert to putting the code behind a button Save Record and Get New Number under the OnClick

To recap. The NZ(DMax(etc.) will take the highest value of the PONum field in tblPO and increment it. You then have to store that value somewhere. If you assign it to a control on a form, that control has to have a ControlSource of the filed in the table. Also, you need to save the record before it gets to the table.

We use the auto page numbering trick here, the trick is to do it as spreads. You just make your pages the same size as the ticket with crops and bleeds. Then set up the shell on the master page and place your auto page number where you want your numbers. Each pages is the next number. You can also have two sets of numbers for perforated ticket. You then can use the page start options to add to the numbers and keep the same number sequential numbering total numbers. For example you would do a new page start after number 99. 0001 to 0099 so it doesn’t add two “0’s” to the front of 100 and you get 00100 when you want 0100. Works great for small quantities, we have done up to 1000+ tickets and once you do it once or twice it is a snap to set up. To avoid having to do 1000 pages just send the tickets in groups. Usually between 25 to 100 at a time works good depending on artwork file size. Just save each time before sending to printer and name the file with what the tickets are. Like “MyTickets-0001-0100.Indd”. Makes it easier to go back if you have a problem. You can even do two rolls of tickets if your using 12 x 18 sheets by flipping the sheet and doing one row along the top and one along the bottom on reverse side. That is if your ticket is single Sided. Two sided tickets are a bit trickier. 🙂

\*alphabetic This switch displays results as alphabetic characters. The result has the same case as the word “alphabetic” in the field code. For example, { SEQ appendix \* ALPHABETIC } displays B (instead of 2), and { SEQ appendix \* alphabetic } displays b.

That said, Illustrator has its own version of Data Merge… I think it is called “variables”… it differs in that it works with XML files rather than TXT… Illustrator is not my field of expertise so anyone that can add to this, feel free.

One other caveat here; the number generated in these scenarios is NOT a primary key. These tables  should use an Autonumber as the PK. The possible exception would be scenario 1, but I would still tend to use an Autonumber as the PK.

Sharing would involve putting both the Normal and Building Blocks templates in a networked location and pointing everyone’s personal template locations to a common networked folder. If you’re on version 2016, see this article.

How do I renumber a page, starting at any number, eg 120.Reason: I have a catalog, divided into 4 files, gives the first page 1 to page 50, the second page gives the 51 to 100 and so on .. are 214 pages .. how do I get in this second part, put the number of pages, starting with page 51?

Serial numbering means that a unique number/code will be printed on each piece that does not form any kind of series (for example: X47YK, M83RQ…). Serial numbering is used for serial numbers and tickets.

The process described in this tip works best if you have a single list in your document. Note that the sequence field starts at the beginning of the document and numbers through the whole document, based on the identifier you use. If you are going to have multiple lists in your document, then you can add a second AutoText entry to help with this. The only difference in the above steps is that the SEQ field you define would look like this:

I’ve just took photos of a wedding, and i have 180 photos that need numbering so i can put on to CD for the bride and groom to choose from. I will make a checklist on paper and they can check off the number of the photo.

Otherwise, you could, instead of a merge, use a page of labels with six SEQ fields set http://thedailyrant.net different sequences and with an interval of 6. The first page would be your initial set of fields with numbering 1, 35, 69, 103, 137, and 171.

Now Cir2 will be the circle immediately to the right of Cir 1, and will start at 4043.  The same circle on page 2 will be 4044, page 3 same circle will be 4045, etc.  Cir3 will start at 4084 and end at 4126, etc, etc, etc.

I have a word document with a table of 6 exact cells on a full page table. In those cell areas I have been printing tickets with a list and a mail merge and updating labels. I call to an excel list of 1-2000 and then I generate all the pages through the Finish and Merge option. This all works perfect. I get 2000 individually numbered tickets to print…however…I then have six tickets printed on a page of paper with ticket numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6 then the next page has 7,8,9,10,11,12. This is fine but I then have to cut and stack these tickets in groups of six and at that point none of the numbering is sequential. The tickets are basically random.

InDesign’s automatic page numbers work well enough, but what about special cases? Some documents require pages to be omitted from total page counts. Other documents use several different systems. Sometimes section numbers or special codes must be included. Well, don’t start typing in those numbers manually, because InDesign can handle it—and quite gracefully, too.

What is the Controlsource of the Job_No control? I suspect its not bound so the table is not getting updated. It should be bound to the Job_No field. The code you are using should increment the highest value of Job_No in Quote Sheet by 1. But if Job_No is not being populated with the incremented number it will laways be zero.

I’m making a research report on landscape design. The final document would have perhaps pages like 80-90 or so. Earlier I used to make reports and multipage documents on MS Word. While making the contents page, I would have to look at each and every chapter’s name, subheading and then add the page number manually. Is there any automatic system in InDesign?

I want to a sequential number to fill in automatically each time the form is filled out. Malissa, A simple way would be to use something like this, you could assign it to a button, an open or before print event. Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”).Value = _ Sheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”).Value + 1 For other ways to do this or if this is going to be used in a temple have a look here http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/udfs/sequentialnums.html — Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others…

Number Pro is an easy application that lets you create a data file that easily integrates with InDesign, Corel Draw, Microsoft  Word, and Publisher. Raffle ticket numbering, multi-part forms, documents etc., using the data merge or mail merge aspects of these various software applications. Number with ease and print on your home or office printer.

You may notice that when you are customizing an outline numbered list, you do not have an option to set the value of the Tab that follows the number. You can only choose whether a tab, space, or nothing follows the number.

This video tutorial demonstrates how easy it is to automatically number raffle tickets in Microsoft Word. Simply download a raffle tickets template, download our number series file, and Mail Merge to create the ticket numbers. http://thedailyrant.net could stop there and just copy those little bits of text all through your document. But no, we want to make this really, really easy! So we’re going to set up some AutoText entries. What that’s going to do for you (if you’re using Microsoft Word 2010 or above — if you use version 2007, see below for some caveats) is allow you to type the first four letters of your SEQ name and have Word offer to complete the phrase for you, complete with the incrementing number courtesy of the sequence field code we set up earlier.

The application requires sequence values to be sorted by another field. The NEXT VALUE FOR function can apply the OVER clause to the function call. The OVER clause guarantees that the values returned are generated in the order of the OVER clause’s ORDER BY clause.

there.. i’ve tried using recording Action. How to use script, (if i have to use script, can you instruct me on a step-by-step procedure or atleast pinpoint me to a thread that explains it, because the ticket’s deadline is on May 4th, and again i have 12,500 tickets to make)

You can use the same technique to restart a numbered list back at the first number as you did to continue with the previous list. In the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, choose Restart numbering, and then click OK.

Many people like to use a “real” filename for their family photos, but because so many of the photos from my grandmother’s collection are “subject unknown,” I decided to use an informative letter-number filename.

In summary, paragraph numbering is really just an exercise in logic, and this blog post is showing the numbering styles for a very specific project. Your project may be similar, but not exactly the same. You just need to think though the levels and how you want to restart the numbers. I do my best to think it through correctly the first time, set it up, and then try as hard as I can to break it, so that I can find my errors. The good news is that once you get your numbers working, you shouldn’t ever have to think about it again.

You may be tempted to place this number on a master page. That would make sense, but there’s a catch: Autonumbered paragraphs on a master page don’t update until you override them. That is, you have to Command/Ctrl-Shift-click on them to make them “kick in” and update to the correct number.

What is the Controlsource of the Job_No control? I suspect its not bound so the table is not getting updated. It should be bound to the Job_No field. The code you are using should increment the highest value of Job_No in Quote Sheet by 1. But if Job_No is not being populated with the incremented number it will laways be zero.

if you prefer they just type in the number, you can parse out the number into the Collection Point and Sequence components, then use a DLookup to return the RecordID which can be used to find the record. Like I said, the user never sees the autonumber ID, its meaningless to them.

That would work for a few, but what if you have 20 or 30 or even 100? The imposition tool works great for just about any quantity. You don’t have to import from a csv file, you can enter the data within the imposition tool and even save it for later use.

Ok I have a logbook tracking data base. I am trying use a field that has the 8 type of books but each book has its own 4 digit number sequence. I am trying to find a way to give me the next number base on the “prefix”.

Example E consumed the first 79 of the Samples.IDLabel sequence numbers. (Your version of AdventureWorks2012 may return a different number of results.) Execute the following to consume the next 79 sequence numbers (80 though 158).

To include numbering prefixes from higher levels, enter text or click at the start of the Number box and choose Insert Number Placeholder and then select a Level option (for example, Level 1), or enter ^ and then the list level (for example, enter ^1). In a list with first levels numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on, and second levels numbered a, b, c, and so on, including the first-level prefix in the second level renders second-level numbers as 1a, 1b, 1c; 2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c.

2. In Excel first type a 1 in the top cell and a 2 in the cell below that, than select both cells and grab the very small handle in the bottom right part of cell 2, and then just drag downwards to have Excel fill in the numbers.

Your raffle might be subject to gaming commission or tax laws. Check with your municipality, state or province, and federal governments to make sure your raffle is legal.

Using the code below, I keep getting an error that says “The requested member of the collection does not exist.” Do you know what I am doing wrong?

When the context menu opens, look for the choice Edit Field…. If it doesn’t exist, then your template doesn’t use the SEQ function. If it does exist, click on it. When the next window opens, you should see SEQ in the Advance field properties box. That template definitely uses SEQ.

Instead of a merge, use a page of labels with six SEQ fields set for different sequences and with an interval of 6. The first page would be your initial set of fields with numbering 1, 35, 69, 103, 137, and 171.

There are a couple of ways you can set up Word 2007/2010 to use SEQ fields for numbering — you can set them up as AutoCorrect entries or as Quick Parts. Both ways work; the method you choose is up to you. This long article describes how to create the SEQ fields and the numbering style in your Normal.dotm template; how to save the SEQ fields as AutoCorrect entries in Word 2007/2010 (and how to use them); and how to save (and use) them as Quick Parts. The most consuming part of this process is settings up the fields and the style; once they’re set up, using them is super easy.

It sure is possible! Numbering and Section options are available in the Pages Panel menu. These options allow you to define what page starts a section and how it should be numbered. Insert a Current Page Number marker (Type>Insert Special Character>Markers>Current Page Number) in a text frame on a page or master page (recommended), select the first page of your section, open the Numbering and Section Options dialog, and enter 200 in the Start Page Numbering at: field. Hope this helps!

In the Number box, use the default expression—period (.) and tab space (^t)—or construct a number expression of your own. To enter a number expression, delete the period after the number metacharacter (^#) and do one of the following:

No, Since you will be starting with a 3 digit number initially, then you don’t need to use the Format function to pad with leading zeros. And since you won’t be using the Format function, then there will be no problem when the number goes to 4 digits.

Type “seq ” followed by the name of the element. This name is up to you, but should be the same for each item in this sequence. For instance, you could type “seq figures” or “seq tables” (without the quote marks).

Type the starting number for your document or for the first page of the current section. For example, if you want to restart the numbering for a section, type 1 . The remaining pages in the section will be renumbered accordingly.

In this chapter, we’ll walk through InDesign’s typesetting features. We’ll start with character formatting (font, point size, kerning, and baseline shift are examples of character formatting), move on to paragraph formatting (indents, tabs, space above and below, and composition), and then dive into formatting using character and paragraph styles. Along the way, there may be a joke or two.

 Does anybody have an easy way to set up sequential numbering in Coreldraw? Our shop has to lay out unit number plaques for vinyl cutting and sometimes my employee has to manually type in hundreds of numbers. I’ve read all the print merge suggestions for raffle tickets and such but I need the numbers entered into an object and not during the print process. 

You are able to customize the numbering scheme at any time: before, during or after you apply it. You can customize all nine heading levels or only the levels you are planning to use. Some fields in the Customize dialog box are the same as the Numbered List Customize dialog box. The fields unique to Outline Numbers are:

1. Create a text frame on the Master page, while dragging, split the frame horizontally and vertically using arrows on the keyboard (Gridify your frame), this way all frames are threaded, you may do the same on both pages of the Masters (Spread) but make sure you link last frame of left Master page and first text frame of right Master page.

The benefit to this is that you are not limited in the layout and font used, however the file size can often be too large to upload to our website. If supplying your artwork this way, it must a press-ready PDF file – our prepress team will not be able to make any adjustments to the file.

Thank you for these instructions!! I’m using them to auto number my son’s baseball team raffle tickets which we hand numbered last year (UGH!). I followed the instructions exactly but for some reason the numbering is starting at 2 every time. I did deselect the checkbox about the column headers which seems the obvious culprit. Any ideas? I’m using Word on a PC. Thanks!!

Is there a way to code the special interrogatory numbers wherein the identify of documents is requested such that those specific special interrogatories (and only those specific special interrogatories) are automatically generated in a separate demand for production of documents? In other words if Special Interrogatory numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 request identification of documents, is there a way to code those special interrogatories so that within the demand for production of documents, those specific but individual special interrogatory numbers can be referenced?

Otherwise, the further alternative is to make a spreadsheet with four columns of numbers (1-250; 251-500; 501-750; 751-1000), set the postcards 4 up and use one column for one postcard, another column for another postcard, etc.

In computer science, sequential access means that a group of elements (such as data in a memory array or a disk file or on magnetic tape data storage) is accessed in a predetermined, ordered sequence. Sequential access is sometimes the only way of accessing the data, for example if it is on a tape. It may also be the access method of choice, for example if all that is wanted is to process a sequence of data elements in order.[1]

Yes, the controlsource of Sequence is Sequence. I’m not getting any errors, just isn’t populating Sequence at all. I also tried making the controlsource the Sequence field in tblLogRecords, but that didn’t work either and gave me “#Name?” in the form.

I would like to add multi numbers on a page on different points like first page is (01, 02, 03, 04) and 2nd page should be continued as (05, 06, 07, 08) Means I need 4 continue numbers on a single page… is that possible..?

I’m getting the following Runtime error msg: Method “PrivateProfileString” of object “System” failed. Can you tell me what I did wrong? Here’s the code I inserted in macro below (its for a House Roster, not an invoice,so I changed text accordingly): Sub CreateHouseRosterNumber() HouseRoster = System.PrivateProfileString(“C:UsersuserDocumentsa” & _ “HouseRoster-number.docx”, “HouseRoster”, “Roster”) If HouseRoster = “” Then HouseRoster = 1 Else HouseRoster = HouseRoster + 1 End If System.PrivateProfileString(“C:UsersJennifer BaumannDocumentsa” & _ “HouseRoster-number.docx”, “HouseRoster”, “Roster”) = HouseRoster ‘ Insert the number in the document ActiveDocument.Range.InsertBefore Format(HouseRoster, “#”) ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:= _ “C:UsersJennifer BaumannDocumentsaHouseRoster” & Format(HouseRoster, “#”) & “.docx” _ , FileFormat:=wdFormatXMLDocument, LockComments:=False,… Read more »

To make sure people get their prizes, give them lots of room to print their name, address, and phone number. Some people are leery about giving out their address, but do make sure you get a printed name and phone number.
