Hi m8 as you might know I am printing the permits for the res. I have done them on office 2000 on word. Every permit will have a permit number - is there a program I can use that will automatically change the number for me instead of doing it with each permit ?

He just wants one bit of text changing automagically to individualise some standard document, instead of by hand every time ... at least, I *think* so ...
insert|autotext in word could help.

Mail merge functionality would probably do the trick.

I think he probably wants to use Field Codes here.

There are Field Codes specifically for adding sequential numbers to chapters, tables & figures (and other stuff). Also, you can embed Excel Functions into Word Field Codes - if you find that easier?.
