Sorry, we're way over my head here.
It depends on what method you are using. Do your employees have access to
whatever the number file is? How are you tracking the numbering? If with a
separate file, to restart numbering, you change the number in that file to
0, I expect.
There is a difference, a critical difference, between a template and a
document. If you use one of the methods set out, and you have an AutoNew
macro, that macro will run, and do whatever it does, when a new document is
created. It will not run when that same document is later opened.

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

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
