Hi Naidee,

Follow these steps:

- In the Tools > Envelopes and Labels dialog, select the label type that
matches the stock you'll print on. Leave the address box empty and click New
Document.
- In the new document, if you don't see table gridlines, click Table > Show
Gridlines.
- In the first cell, press Ctrl+F9 to insert a pair of field braces. Between
the braces, type this code:
seq a \# "000"
The "seq" means this is a "sequence" field. The "a" tells the field what
sequence it belongs to; this can be any character or word. The zeros are
placeholders for the numbers; type as many zeros as you want digits in the
final numbers.
- Press F9 to update the field. It should say 001.
- Select the first cell and copy it to the clipboard.
- If the label stock you chose has narrow columns separating the wider label
columns, select one wide column at a time and paste. If there are no narrow
columns, you can select the whole table and just paste once.
- Finally, select the whole table and press F9 to update all the fields. The
sequence numbers increase across each row and then down to the next row.
 
Brilliant,worked a treat thanks!
