Autotext for file numbers

[Charles Anderson]

I am trying to make some Autotext that is supposed to represent a file
number. It's in the header of a template. The number is supposed to be the
same for the whole file, but the next time I create a file with that
template, I need it to be one higher.

Well, you've got two different things going on here. You can insert (in a
header or footer or anywhere in the document) the "Filename" or "Filename
and path" AutoText entry, which represents the FILENAME field. To force a
specific filename, you can use a macro that writes specific text to the
Title property, which will then be suggested as the filename when you save.
For this purpose, you could perhaps use a variation of the method used in
