Numbering as for a raffle ticket
That would all depend upon how the ticket data is laid out and you give very
little detail. Printing these directly from Excel can be a pain due to formatting. I do up a lot of numbered tickets for a couple of associations I belong to. I set up my ticket data in Excel in columns with a column for numbers then I use Word Mailmerge to print the tickets. If you want duplicate numbers on each half of the ticket, set up the numbers in two columns rather than one. Printing labels or tickets from Excel is trial and error but can be done. Word does a fine job because it is designed for that type of operation. For help on Word mail merge using Excel as the data source. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/mailmerg.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMe...AMailMerge.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MailMe...DataSource.htm Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Thu, 26 Oct 2006 12:06:02 -0700, Mom needs help! <Mom needs wrote: I need to know if it is possible to number a specific cell consecutively for a kids fundraiser.

THANKS for your help!!!!!! I was able to accomplish my mission in word
thanks to your advice on mail merge. I had 2 pictures and had it set up as a 2 part ticket. I just copied the 2nd one over to the otherside and it worked great!
