Numbering when printing

[Steve Garry]

I have a document template that is designed to be used for capturing
information at point of sale. I'd like to number them sequentially, but there
has to be an easier way than saving the same page multiple times in the
document and then changing the start page number, but I can't see it.

What I'd like to do is have just the one page saved, and then be able to
tell the sytem that I want 100 copies, and it will print number 1-100 as it
outputs. Next time, I use the page option, or similar, to set the number to
100 before I print the next batch.

Is there an easy way to do this with Word2003, as part of the Office Pro
suite, so I could use other parts of the suite to do some of the work. I
don't really want to have to get into "programming" to do what should be
simple.

Thanks

Steve

Thanks, the ready made macro did what I needed, apart from a slight snag,
which was that the XP Pro account I use for "routine" and web work could not
create the file used for the macro, as it was trying to put it in the C: root
directory, which is blocked to the user account I would normally use. Fixed
that, and the macro does exactly what I needed it to.

Cheers
