MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / June 2005Numbered Coupons
I'm trying to create a table of about 500 numbered coupons. All the text on each coupon is identical except for the sequence number. The sequence number needs to start at an arbitrary value and go up incrementally by 1. Mailmerge seems like overkill for this purpose, but I'm not sure how to insert a counter variable field and increment it at each occurence. the sticking point so far has been specifying the initial value. Suggestions, especially step-by-step instructons, would be most welcome. TIA, Steve Samson See the following: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/NumberDocs.htm > I'm trying to create a table of about 500 numbered coupons.

I need it 500 times in the document, once per table cell. I'm not sure that the method in that article can be adapted to my situation. Still looking...

Worked pretty well, but I could not copy a block containing the SEQ fields without then replacing each SEQ field. Do you know of a way to redrive symbol substitution? Anyway, good enough to get the job done. Cheers, Steve > Insert a SEQ field in each table cell. Set the starting number by > adding a \r switch to the SEQ field in the first table cell.

Does this not work for you? What do you mean by "redrive symbol substitution"? > Garfield, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >>> >>> Steve Samson Problem solved: Select all, F9. Done. Thanks for putting me on the right track.
