In Word 2000 I was able to use mail merge to create serialised forms. Now I
am using word 2003 I find it impossible to do the same task.

Am I missing some simple method of doing this or has Microsoft changed Word
to prevent this useful feature.

Thanks in anticipation.

I suspect a SEQ field would do this, although I haven't tried it. I assume
that the merge forms you created in Word 2000 still work, have you examined
them to see how they were set up?
