Hi Chestore,

Given that Word can support 2,147,483,647 SEQ fields, the whole job could be done in a single document containing 30,000 tickets. On my system, creating such a document took only a few minutes and, once created took about two minutes to update the fields - and that was with about 40,000 pairs of SEQ fields coded as {SEQ Ticket \# 00000} and {SEQ Ticket \c \# 00000}. This number formatting is enough to go to 99,999 tickets.

Alternatively, you could combine a SEQ field and a FILLIN field for the starting # (or, say, an alpha prefix) have have a document with fewer fields and simply output the tickets in batches.
