How do I make a document automatically number when opened in Word

Guest

I am trying to create a purchase order in Word and want the document to
generate the next sequential number every time it is opened. For instance -
I use #42 and close the doc - the next time I open it I want it to read #43.
Anyone know if and how I can do this?
