I'd like to create a Word document containing a numeric field that increments every time the file is opened.
I must be missing something, but all I'm finding online are guides based on Word 2003 that involve page-long macros and editing the register....
Does anyone know how do to do? Surely it must be possible, with some sort of fiddling with field codes? It's possible to create a custom field to be a counter, and to set things like date fields to auto-update on opening, so can I just combine the two?
It's years since I did anything serious in Word, and it was always my weakest of the three!
