Numbering Sequence on Mailboxes?

[Kris]

I am trying to provide a "numbering sequence" to a Visio program that I we
have setup where we use Visio to create mailbox drawings. For example, a
United States Post Office would have thousands of doors on their mailboxes,
we use Visio to create these mailboxes, however I can't figure out a way to
do the "numbering sequence" so that the actual address of each door would
show up on a drawing. I need someone here to point me in the direction of
some help. I would like to get in contact with a Viso expert and talk to
them, possibly send them the files I am working with and let them look at
them and tell me what it would take to accomplish these sequences..Can you
help me? Thanks.

If you use the same shape for each mailbox, it is relatively easy to search
the drawing for these shapes, order them according to position (top left to
bottom right) and assign numbers.
