Word Special Formatting Needed for sequentially numbered tickets on Avery Business Card stock.

Question

I need some GUIDENCE with a project I’m trying to do, using “Microsoft Word 2016”.

My project requires printing on “Avery Clean Edge Business Card” stock.

I have prepared the document, designed to fit the format of 10-Card “Avery Clean Edge Business Card” stock.

The finished product will be used like tickets for an event.

What I need help with:

Since the cards are to be used like tickets, I need to be able to print each card with its own unique individual number in ascending order. For Example, #1500 to #2000

PROBLEM HERE IS: I don’t know how to get this done.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Don't know if you ever got this straightened out.

For use of Graham's utility, on my system, it certainly shows up toward the left end of the Mailings Tab.

You need the utility (a Word .dotm template) to be saved in your Word Startup Folder or to manually load it as a Global Template using the Document Template button on the Developer Tab.

Answer 2

Send me a copy of what you have designed and I will show you how to complete the task.

Answer 3

Graham Mayor provides an add-in to do this. See http://www.gmayor.com/NumberLabels.htm

Hello,

This forum is a user-to-user support forum. My name is Charles and I am a fellow user with decades of experience using Microsoft Word. I have written extensively on using Word and have authored help articles on the Microsoft site.

You will likely want to use a Sequence Field for the numbers.

Here is the Word documentation on this field.
