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.
