Insert a counter in Word

Solved

Hello everyone,

I have a Word document which is a manufacturing order. I have its number (14/XXX) and I would like the XXX to be a numeric counter that increments automatically with each print.

I have made several attempts with the automatic insertion but without conclusive results.

I also specify that I have very little knowledge of VB programming.

Thank you in advance.

Hello

You can increment a number with each creation from a template by following this tutorial here

Thank you for your quick response.

I tried this tutorial on my document and on a document created for the test.

For the created document, the macro works but the number does not increment.

As for my document, the macro stops at the second line (Num = Num + 1) and gives me "type mismatch."

My document contains mail merge lines; could that be a problem?

Hello

So we need to start over from the beginning. This is not related to the mail merge
Have you properly created the "number" auto-insertion at the start?

Here is a test template that you can save in your templates for testing

Thank you, it works.

In fact, the problem comes from the moment when automatic insertion needs to be done. In the "Gallery" field, I had not changed it to "automatic insertion."

Thanks again, this saves me a lot of time.
