How to? Please help!

I am trying to create a page of Avery labels similar to the ones you would use for an address on an envelope. I need to input a number range from 00001 to 00500 for example, and I do not want to do this manually as it is very tedious and time consuming.

How can I create a macro to do this for me and have it generate the sequence of numbers and fill the labels?



Any advice is surely appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Use a SEQ field
eg {SEQ mynum \# "00000"}
where the field braces are put in by pressing Ctrl-F9. Copy and paste the field as many times as required and select them all and press F9 to update them.
