Repeating text with AutoNumbers
You can create a job that includes Composer text with an AutoNumber sequence using the
Repeats/Merge dialog box. The AutoNumber sequence allows you to merge a fixed text, such
as the words Room Number, with a number that will be increased (or decreased) each time you
repeat.
This procedure creates four repeats of Room Number with autonumbers 101, 102, 103, and 104.
To repeat text with AutoNumbers
1
Enter the fixed text in Composer using TOWS or Enter/Edit Text. For example: Room
Number.
2
Enter the placeholder for the AutoNumber sequence. The default placeholder symbol
is the number sign (#) followed by the number 1. Do not put a space between the # and
the number.
Note: The number sign (#) is the default placeholder symbol for AutoNumber. The Option tab
in the Repeats/Merge dialog box allows you to substitute another character for the #.
3
Select all the fixed text and the placeholder in Composer.
4
Click Tools > Repeats/Merge to open the Repeats tab of the Repeats/Merge dialog
box.
