I am trying to figure out how to use this template:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/templates/TC012265191033.aspx. How
do I make 100 tickets and have the numbers automatically update?
Huh! Good question! I expected to see a macro in the template, or at least
some way to keep the numbering going for successive pages. It looks to me
like someone "forgot" something. There's a Black & White version of another
one too, with the same problem.
I've lost the source for where I got this, but here's a short blurb on
creating sequential numbers if it helps any.
-------------------
Make an AutoText entry as follows: In the body of any document, type the
brackets and the letter Q as regular text. Between the Q and the closing
bracket, insert a Sequence field, which supplies the number. Now select the
whole thing and press Alt+F3 and assign a name to the AutoText entry that
you wouldn't ordinarily use as a word, such as "qtag".
Each time you type that name in text, you'll see a yellow tooltip that says
"Press Enter to insert". Actually, you can press Enter, Tab, or F3, as any
of them will insert the AutoText entry.
If you insert new entries between existing ones, those that follow it don't
update automatically. You'll have to press Ctrl+A to select the whole
document and then press F9 to update the fields. (Alternatively, switch to
Print Preview and back.)
