Word 2010 and automatic number for each document printed

[techman]

Hello,

 

I have a 4 page Word Doucment (Word 2010) and I want to have a unique number on page 1 of the document every time it's printed.

 

Example: I print 10 copies of the document and I want Word to automatically generate a unique number on page 1 so I can keep track of who receives the document.

 

I will record the name of the person who receives the document by recording the unique number generated every time the doc is printed.

 

Can I do this in Word?

 

Thanks,

 

techman.

A mail merge would do this for you. A spreadsheet with names an numbers on it as the data source would keep a record of who is matched to which number and then just include the number on the document as a merge field.

Thanks spadam.

 

That worked.
