Creating a Series of Labels

You can automatically generate labels by creating a 
series. You create a starting pattern, and then set 
the increment and count for the series.
You can serialize any number or letter by selecting 
the position to be incremented, such as the 
number 2 in 123 or the letter B in ABC. For example, 
when the 2 is selected in 123 and the increment 
#=3, the resulting labels would print as 123, 153, 
and 183.
Letters can be incremented from A to Z and a to z, 
and numbers from 1 to 9. When the letter Z or the 
number 9 is reached during serialization, a letter or 
number is added to increase the increment. For 
example, Az increments to Aaa, AZ increments to 
BA, and A9 increments to A10.
Three methods of serialization are available: simple, 
simultaneous, and advanced.
