Office & productivity software: Is there a way to print serial numbers in Microsoft Word
Is there a way to print serial numbers in Microsoft Word
by AMCooper63 - 4/18/07 9:48 AMI have a document that I want to print a serial number on the cover. I want the serial number to increment every time the document is printed. I couldn't find anyway to do it.
I was able to use the SEQ ExamNumb \r1 \# "201" field and this started me at 201 and SEQ ExamNumb \n \r1 used in the subsiquent copies incremented my number. I'd like to be able to di it in one source file and not to have to make a bunch of copies to get my serial numbers.
Any ideas?

This is not an offer to write your VBA code for you.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa211441(office.11).aspx notes the event I might use to check what page I've rendered for printing and increment the value that I hold in the document's properties and have put that field on my page.
Again, this is just sharing which event I would use and not an offer to write the code.

I'm not a programmer, but I took a look at this. It seems that it would only do it for individual print jobs. I'm trying to print 70 copies of a test and have each test serialized for tracking. I'd hate to have to press print 70 times. I currently print 70 copies of the cover sheet that has the serial number. That is 70 copies in one document. Then I use the coversheet property of our copier to pull in the unique cover sheets for each of the 70 copies.
Then CHEAT. Here's how.

I may have missed how many pages the test is but for my example I'll write ONE PAGE test and how to cheat.
1. Print the test 70 times.
2. Create a new document and insert a section break and 70 blank pages after that.
3. Create the header or footer as you wish.
4. Use the Pagenumber field and the property of "start at this page number" as the starting serial number.
5. Place that only in the header/footer as you see fit.
6. Place the 70 tests back into the printer and print the new document to serialize the documents.
No code.
