Word / Number Generator

[Ravi Sandhu]

HI all


I have something that seems a bit of a conundrum

I have never used the visual basic element of word, and only macros on a
basic level. So please start from scratch for me.

This is what I need to do:

When I open this particular file in Word, I need it to have 100 copies ready
to print.

Each of those 100 copies needs to have a unique reference number.

To make things difficult, I need to make sure that each time 100 different
reference numbers are printed off, they have never been used before.

So for example.

I need to open the file, which when I print it, will automatically print
100, to a chosen printer.

I need for each sheet to have a reference number. The first 100 might be
between 000001 - 000100

But then once printed and closed, I need for the next time I open the file,
the reference numbers: 000101 - 000200

Please help me with this

Thank you kindly
