Embed an incrementing number within the text

Hi,

I'm using Word 2000 on Windows XP.

I'm going to be sending out letters to customers, perhaps up to 300 and I
want to be able to assign a unique number to each customer, and have it
embedded within the document text. For example: "... your unique reference
number is [ 176 ] ..."

The numbers would begin at '1' and increment by one for each letter being
sent out. I had wondered if it were possible to arrange this so that the
numbering would increment as the letters were being printed out - is this
possible? I can't find any method of achieving this.

It's highly likely that I am approaching this from the wrong direction, so
if anybody could offer some advice or better still an example that would be
great.

Many thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,

Are you using mailmerge to create the letters? If so, insert the MergeSeq
field (Insert | Field...) where you want the number to appear.

Success,
Cooz
