Default Help with Raffle Tickets in Microsoft word

I have downloaded a pre-fabricated template for generating my own custom raffle tickets in microsoft word. Here is the page with the files

http://www.officearticles.com/word/create_raffle_or_event_tickets_in_microsoft_word.h tm

They are very slick. One word file with the template corresponds to a data file in word with the following format

stub, ticket

1,1
2,2
3,3
4,4

etc

4998,4998
4999,4999
5000,5000

The ticket numbering only goes out to 5,000 tickets. I need it to go out to 30,000 or more if possible.

I found a # sequence generator that can give me one column with the sequence out to whatever I need (say 30,000) however, I can't get a duplicate number. I need the ticket and the stub to have the same number.

The problem is the comma and second duplicate number. Is there a sequence generator that can produce such a list?

Here is the generator I found (only solves half of the problem)

http://sequence-generator.com/



I don't want to have to data entry to finish each line. Will take forever. Is there a way to get a same, same format in microsoft word. I have used a sequence number generator to get a list. Its the comma and second duplicate # that is the problem.

There has to be a trick to get the format for the data file. Please help.
