Hi Paul,

I didn't but now when I tried to add the line

{={DOCPROPERTY StartNum}+{PAGE}-1 \# 000000}

I got this syntax error:

!Syntax Error, {

But I think it is time for me to stop here, since I am not a Word guru and not dealing with problems like this every day, in a few weeks or a month I won't remember enough to use this new info anyway.

I will fix this problem right now by copying/pasting the content of the old template into the new one and reposition the serial number.

Thank you for giving me the solution, it works great!

Cheers,
Geza
