Can I use SEQ to keep a running sequence?

[mmac]

I am trying to create a numbered certificates using the SEQ field. I put
three certificates on a page, set the starting number with the \r switch and
it increments the number on the single page, but if I print multiple pages,
it repeats the same three numbers on each page.
How can I make it not only sequence the number over multiple pages, but
also remember where it left off when I open the doc again?

See the article "Creating sequentially numbered documents (such as
invoices)" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberDocs.htm

and "Sequentially numbering multiple copies of single document using a
macro" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/NumberCopiesOf1Doc.htm

Niether of the above are quite what you want, but should give you an idea
how to achieve it.

Thank you, I had found those links and will muddle through the vba as it
looks understandable, but falling on your experience, does this look like it
will increment three times per page for multiple pages? I can't tell how the
boomark gets updated multiple times per page. In case you can' tell, this is
my first attempt at this SEQ field.
