Try the following.

Type the number with which you want to start. (For example, 1)
Then type the next highest number. (For example, 2)
Continue typing in sequence (3 4 5 6 7 etc.) until you reach the number
at which you want to stop.

Now, a serious answer. Did you want to insert these on sequential pages?
(For example, page numbers in a book or newsletter.) Or did you want
them on successive cards on a single page? (For example, numbered event
or raffle tickets.)

That would be the successive cards on a single page however there would be
more then one page I guess with that I just made the project even harder??

OK! Not trying to be a problem, but I don't have anything 2003. Just 2000,
can't afford the good stuff. I tried what you mentioned but after "fill" I
could not use series it wasn't high lighted.

The way I'd do that is to type 1001 in A1, 1002 in A2, select the range
A1:A2 with the mouse, then drag the small black box in the corner of the
selection box downwards to the requisite number. The procedure is
essentially the same in 2000 as it is in 2003, just dialog box names and
descriptions have changed.

This seems to be the answer to my problem, since the computer age I went
kicking and screeming but finally gave in and tried to learn the many
millions of ways to disrupt my mind. I have one great problem though, I am a
very impatient individual. Due to that fact I just got my self out of a huge
crash the past three days and am still sweeting the future.

Thanks so much,
DC

I am new to publisher and my skills in wp don't always apply to publisher.
Therefore, I am unable to get the pages to print out in the order that I
want them to print out. I know this is probably basic publishing but the help
menu does not offer any assistance. HELP.

What order do you want them to print? Most people start with page 1 and end
with the last page, going in order.
