Label+Items+with+Sequential+Numbers

Word lets you create elements within documents that appear in numeric order, such as printed coupons or event tickets. You can automatically create sequentially numbered items by using field codes. First design the coupons or tickets; and, you can place multiple tickets on a page inside table cells, if you like. Click the location where the first ticket number should appear and select Insert, Quick Parts, Field from the Categories list. Then select Numbering, and from the list below choose SEQ. Next, click Options followed by the Field Specific Switches tab. After the letters SEQ in the Field Codes box, type a bookmark name that only you will see, such as ticket number, followed by a letter space, the marker \r, another letter space, and then the starting ticket number. Thus, to start at the number 1000, you would use this field code: SEQ ticketnumber \r 1000 Click OK twice when you're done. Starting at the location where the next number should appear, repeat the process, this time using this field code: SEQ ticketnumber \n Click OK twice. The next-larger number (1001) should appear in the designated place. Copy this field code and add it everywhere you need an incrementally larger number. You can perform this operation as many times as you need to. If the numbering does not automatically increase incrementally, force it to do so by pressing Ctrl-A to select the document and then pressing F9 to update the fields. At any time, you can change the start number by clicking the first field code you added and then pressing Shift-F9 to view the field code. Replace the number 1000 with your new starting number, and then press Shift-F9 again to hide the field code. To update all of the codes to reflect your new starting number, press Ctrl-A followed by F9.
