Add a serial number to a Word file

[PM2000]

Hi,

I am stumped on this one. I need to send out a Word document (Office 2000) in pdf to about 300 people. The problem is that each one has to be numbered sequentially. The number has to appear on the front page of the pdf that is emailed.

So, my code would essentially open the document, add the number ("1,2,3,4...etc") to a field on the first page of it, print it to pdf, attach it to an email and send it.

I can do the email and the print to pdf, but do not know how to add the number to a field in Word.

Has anyone ever done this or maybe point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Peter
