Sequential Numbering in Document Template

[Guest]

The company I work for still uses typewriters to fill out contracts that are
sent out on a regular basis. I have created an EXACT replica of the contract
in a WORD document template which would save so much time & effort, but the
only problem is, the contract number.

I am trying to figure out how to get this contract number to automatically
update in sequence when the document is saved.

Maybe I could add a button or something to click that would insert the new
updated contract number to the document I am working on…


For example: Here is the starting contract number I want to use for the
Template:

A 15655.

I would like for every time I open and/or save that it would go in sequence..

A 15656
A 15657… and so on.

I would be so much help if someone could give me advice on this… thank you
so much.

Stephanie,

Fellow MVP Graham Mayor and I worked on this issue a while back and
Graham has the fruit of that labor posted on his site:

That was Great! Thank you. Maybe you can answer this too... Now I did
everything like on the site, and it tells me that Macros are disabled. Did I
do something wrong or is a setting that needs to be changed on my computer?

Hi Greg, thanks. I can understand most of it, and some of the changes are
easy to identify, however I don't recognize all the changes I need to make to
personalize this to my template. Any more advice you could offer? Again
Thank You.

Stephanie,

You will need to be more specific as to what you don't understand and where
you need additional help.
