Re: Sequential numbering of tickets

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have been trying this, but all of my coupons (8 on a page) merge with the
first number only. I don't have a "next field" option and I am printing about
1000 coupons. Any pointers on merging with multiple copies per page?

In addition to LVTravel's advice, be aware when you print preview in
Publisher 2003 all the cards will have the same number. This is a
Publisher bug. If you are unsure print a test from the print dialogue.

You do a mail merge using a source file with all the numbers you need on
it. When it merges it will pull the numbers one at a time for each
ticket.

See Mail Merge in help to assist you in setting it up. It is relatively
easy but the first time there is a bit of a learning curve.

Set up the merge data first (I use Excel) to create the data file. In
cell A1 type in your first ticket number then hold the Ctrl key down and
then drag the small square on the bottom right of that cell's outline
down until you get all the numbers you need for your ticket. (If you
should let go of the mouse button too soon, simply grab the new small
square on the last cell and continue to drag with the Ctrl key held.
Save the Excel file and then create your ticket file in Publisher and
then complete your merge.

Hope this helps, let us know.
