Default Flyers with sequential numbers

Hi



I am producing flyers and want to add a lucky drew number to them.

I have done the following, excel document (flyers) numbered 001 - 500, have also tried 1 - 500. Have placed a text box on the player image (flyer is a full A5 graphic on top of an A5 word document)

The text box is great transparent I then try to add "Insert Merge Field" and nothing appears?

Am I looking at this wrong, or is there a simpler way of doing this.

Object required. To be able to print out flyers with sequential numbers, when I stop a print run and go back it will continue where I left off.

Operating system: Windows 10 (64bit)
Software: MS Office 2010.

Thanks in advance

Does the Excel sheet have a heading in the numbered column? Have you connected the document to the Excel data source? See: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...f-932c49474705

FWIW, you can do this without a mailmerge. See: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13070 and the implementation in: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post13162

Hi Paul (macropod)

Thanks so much for the prompt reply. I knew it had to be something simple. Yes, your first guess was correct done everything except, connect the document up to the data source.

All is working fine, I did look at the non-merge examples looked complicated for the simple task I needed.

Thanks

Again.
