Raffle tickets

[Tracy]

How do I set up my template for raffle tickets to print the sequential
numbers on multiple pages?

You could use a SEQ field. Or you could use a macro such as
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberDocs.htm or
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberCopiesOf1Doc.htm
(if you don't know how to install a macro, then see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ).

I am using the Business card template to create raffle tickets. Each ticket
is numbered and there are 5 tickets to a page. Will using the macro help
with this?

 

[garfield-n-odie]

No, the SEQ field would be a better approach if you're using the
business card template.

The SEQ field does not work correctly in a label merge. It restarts the
numbering at each page. For a workaround - see

Okay, but Tracy didn't say anything about wanting to do a label
merge. If Tracy wants to make a zillion pages of business cards
with the exact same raffle ticket (except for the raffle ticket
number) on each card, then a SEQ field ought to work just fine
for numbering the raffle tickets.

And if she were doing a mail merge, she could include the number as a
mergefield (as in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/NumberCopiesOfDocMMerge.htm).

Is there a question here?
