MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / October 2005Auto Number Labels
I want to generate Avery 5167 labels with a 5-digit number beginning with 00001 that ascends with each label. Help, please!  SignatureJ Ellis J Ellis, Use a listnum field, on your label type 0000 then choose Insert - field - category numbering - choose Listnum. Luc >I want to generate Avery 5167 labels with a 5-digit number beginning with > 00001 that ascends with each label. Help, please! Thanks...but won't each number come up with 0000 in front? If I were running a series of 100, I'd want to start with 00001 and end with 00100.

Help, please! As far as I know, the only way to do this is with a Seq field: { SEQ SeqNameHere \# "0000" } To insert the field braces, press Ctrl+F9. Then type the code as shown (except for the SeqNameHere part, where you can choose a name that makes sense to you) and press F9 to update the display. You can use copy and paste to insert the number at multiple locations. Note that Seq fields do not update automatically, which will be especially apparent if you use copy and paste to insert them. Printing or previewing should update them, though (it definitely will if you enable the option to update fields on the Print tab of Tools>Options). For more about the Seq field, see Word Help.

Alternatively, you can use the Bates Label add in (which is what it sounds like you're creating): http://www.payneconsulting.com/products/bateslabel_free/ I think this will work for what you're doing and be much easier. Mike > This works very well! Many thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> beginning with >> > > > 00001 that ascends with each label. Help, please! Hi. I have two follow-up questions: 1. How can I print more than 1 page (if, say, I want 300 labels of the same sequence)? 2. How can I start with a number other than 1? Many thanks.
