Hi,
I am working on a regular excel spreadsheet that I need to print
hundreds of. However, when i print the spreadsheet, they all need to
be identical with the exception of the page number for reasons of
record. I would like to have sequential numbering starting at
1....300, 301 and so on. Is there any way i can do this without
having to use a macro or any type of code? I am not exactly good at
any of that kind of thing.

thanks,
ryan l

If you visit this site, though, JE gives two approaches to achieve
this (the text file approach may be better for you):

so you don't have to do much coding yourself.

Hope this helps.

Is it just one printed page and you want to print many copies of the same page?

See Ron de Bruin's site for macro code to do this.

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
