Default In Publisher how do I get invoice numbers to update automatically

I am setting up my invoices using Publisher. I have got the date to change
automatically, but can I also get the invoice number to change automatically?
Thank you. Joe

Use Mail Merge.

You can't unless you do several invoices with the same date, then as JoAnn
advised, use mail merge. Setup a data base with your numbers.
Numbers are not automatic in Publisher. You would need a program such as Excel.
