How do I increment a number on a single page from 1 to 5300 when printing out
the same page one after the other?

See if the following from Words help file is what you are trying to
accomplish.


Specify how to start or restart page numbering

If you haven't done so already, insert a section break (section break:
A mark you insert to show the end of a section. A section break stores the
section formatting elements, such as the margins, page orientation, headers
and footers, and sequence of page numbers.) where you want to start page
numbering.
1.. How?

1.. Click where you want to insert a section break.
2.. On the Insert menu, click Break.
3.. Under Section break types, click the option that describes
where you want the new section (section: A portion of a document in which
you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you
want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or
headers and footers.) to begin.
Note If you have already inserted a page break (page break: The
point at which one page ends and another begins. Microsoft Word inserts an
"automatic" (or soft) page break for you, or you can force a page break at a
specific location by inserting a "manual" (or hard) page break.) to cause a
chapter to start on a new page, delete the page break and replace it with a
section break that starts on a new page.

2.. Do any of the following:
Start page numbering with 1 after the first page

For example, you can omit page numbers for the document's title page
or introduction and then start page numbering later in the document.

1.. Click in the section (section: A portion of a document in
which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when
you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or
headers and footers.) in which you want to start page numbering.
2.. On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
3.. If you want to position the page numbers at the bottom of the
page, click Switch Between Header and Footer on the Header and Footer
toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out
commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then
click the Toolbars tab.).
4.. If a header or footer has been defined for a previous section
in the document, click Link to Previous on the Header and Footer toolbar to
break the connection between the header or footer in the current section and
the previous section.
5.. If there's already text in the header or footer that you don't
want, delete the text before inserting the page number.
6.. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
7.. Click Format.
8.. In the Start at box, enter 1.
Start page numbering with a number other than 1

For example, you can number pages without a break in numbering
between multiple documents by numbering the first document 1 through 20 and
the second document 21 through 40.

1.. Click in the section (section: A portion of a document in
which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when
you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or
headers and footers.) in which you want to change the starting page number.
2.. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
3.. Click Format.
4.. In the Start at box, enter a number.
Restart page numbering with 1 for each chapter or section

For example, you can number the first chapter 1 through 5 and the
second chapter 1 through 8. Or, number the table of contents i through iv
and the rest of the document 1 through 25.

1.. Click in a section (section: A portion of a document in which
you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you
want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or
headers and footers.) or select multiple sections in which you want to
restart page numbering.
2.. On the Insert menu, click Page Numbers.
3.. Click Format.
4.. In the Start at box, enter 1.

I don't think the section break will work. Could I email you the document?
It would be easier to explain if you saw what I have and what I want changed.

I don't know if there was an easier way or not, but I just copied the first
document using page numbers and created several more, then I copied all of
those to create a larger document still using page numbering. It didn't take
too long and I had a document that was 5300 pages long all of the same but
with each its own page lucky number.
