How do I add different page numbers to the same page as it prints.

[Darrin Dillman]

I print carton labels and would like to print comething like carton 1, 2, 3,
4 ect. Or maybe print carton 1 of 20, carton 2 of 20 ect. All labels are the
same and are printed on a direct thermal label printer. The labels are on a
roll. I have a template now that we just put the title of the book and how
many are in each carton and need to be able to add the carton so we can do
quality checks. I have this in Word 2000. I also have Exel 2000 if it is
possible to do it in that. Thank you for your help.

If these cartons are like normal paper sizes (or change your paper size to
the size of the carton label that you want to print, whatever) but this works
in the header part of the document, click on view, headers and footers, click
on insert auto text and choose Page X of Y. Now press Alt+F9 to see the
coding and change the word "Page" in the beginning of the line to "Carton" so
it will give you Carton 1 of 20, Carton 2 of 20 at the top of every page.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Joey, but this did not work. It would work if I had more than one
page but I use the same page but print out as many as I need for each run of
books. I would say that there has to be a way that when you print the
printing software and the program from were you are printing from has to
place the information on how many labels are printing. Thank you again.

Darrin,

I don't see your original post. If you want to up sequence a number
each time a document prints you can use a bookmark and macro something
like this:

Sub NumberCopies()
Dim numCopies As Integer
Dim CopyNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Integer
Dim oRng As Range

numCopies = InputBox("Enter the number of copies to print", "Print", 1)
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("CopyNum").Range
Counter = 0
While Counter < numCopies
oRng.Delete
oRng.Text = CopyNum + 1
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
CopyNum = CopyNum + 1
Counter = Counter + 1
Wend
End Sub

Put a bookmarked named "CopyNum" where you want the number to appear in
the document.
