How do I set up automatic sequential numbering in Microsoft Word?

[Deborah]

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to set up sequential numbering in a Word
document template, so that every time you create a new document, a visible
number in the document updates.

For example within the document, you could have the text
Document Number: RF000045
which would update to RF000046, RF000047, etc, for each new document created
from that template.

Thank you for reading my message.

Regards
Deborah
