Sequencing

How to do Number Sequencing using Word and Excel.

Sequencing is most commonly used to increment a numeric value to be used in
labels for wire wrapping. With the use of an Excel spreadsheet template as well as a

Word

template (included on your install CD):

1) 

Open an existing template on the DuraLabel CD or start a new 

Word

document.

2) 

Because Excel uses Pixel measurement instead of inches, you will want to set

this to match in word. Go to 

Tools

menu >>> 

Options

to bring up the property sheet

for 

Word

. Click on the 

General

tab, and locate the option to change the unit of

measure. 

See #1

. Change it to 

Point

as this is the same as pixel

(1" = 72 points, 2" = 144 points, 3" = 216 points, 4” = 288 points, etc.).

3) 

Next go to File >>> 

Page Setup

and click on the 

Paper

tab. If you started from a

supplied template, make note of the width and height of the page as you will need
to use these values to set the cell size in the Excel template. 

See #2

.

If you're starting from scratch, set the width and height to the desired size of the
label.
