I have a 1 page application. I need to print 100 copies, but each copy
needs to have a unique number. 001, 002, 003 etc
How can I do this?
Hello,
If it is a one-off then the copy and paste method + page number is the
best (storage is very cheap in these days), however if you plan to re-do
it often, then you should consider using the mail merge feature (which
would be really an overkill otherwise).
1. create a spreadsheet and type in the first row, first column cell:
Sequence. Then below this cell write the numbers from 1 to 100 (or even
200) one number per cell. (you can use the auto-fill capability of Calc
to make this step quick.) Save this spreadsheet somewhere and call it
sequence.ods. close the spreadsheet application.
2. create a new database, select connect an existing database, in the
type select "spreadsheet" then select the file you created previously.
Give the database a memorable name such as "counting", save and Close
the database application.
3. open your application, press F4 and you will see "Counting" in the
list of the registered databases. Go to table 1 and you will see your
sequence column. Drag the heading of the column (that is the word
"Sequence") into the document where you want the sequence number to
appear. Note the grey shaded area.
4. When you print, answer yest to the first question, then select
whether to print a selescon of records or all of them.
I repeat, definitely not recommended unless you create one such document
often, but it is a nice feature which is not as hard to use as it looks.
