Re: How do I set up automatic numbering?



Great Charles, I finally had it worked. Now my question is:

How do I do to restart the numbering to 1?

I am going to send individualized template to other employees, will the
document be updated automatically when they open it?

Thank you very much.

Put it in a template as an AutoNew macro. Users start a new document using:
File > New and picking your template.

A macro is visual basic for applications (vba).

The number should be updated each time you create a new purchase order, not
each time you look at an existing one, I suspect.

I can't teach you the ins and outs of programming long distance. Here are
some links to get you started:

I got those links from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/index.htm. If you

Good morning Charles,

Actually, I am not familiar with either VBA or macros in Word. I have
tried
both and in VBA it doesn't do anything but my question is should I create
an
AutoNew macro or a AutoOpen with all the language?

What is th easier way to do it? Should the P.O. number be pudated each
time
I open the document?

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the delay in answering.

Thank you Charles for your help. The thing is I have tried this morning
because had seen this link in previous questions, but did not manage to
do
it. Would you have by any chance an easier or a step by step
explanation
of
the process.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am creating a Purchase Order template, and would like the P.O.
number
to
be updated automatically every time I open the document.

I have no idea how to do that. Please let me know if you can help
me.

Thank you
