 |
|
Hi all,
I need to have a autonumber inserted in a bookmark.
The data (last number used) should be kept and updated in a text file.
I'm sure that this must be simple, but unfortunately, I'm not familiar (yet) with openoffice basic.
A sample code will be perfect.

| I'm not really sure about what you need, but under Insert -> Fields -> Others (Ctrl+F2) you can define a variable field. For example, insert "var" (without quotes) under name, and var+1 under value, click on "insert" and you are on the game. |

Perhaps if you described what you're trying to accomplish in more detail, it would be easier to respond. An autonumber inserted IN a bookmark? In the same bookmark? What for?And what would trigger the increment? Maybe there's an easier way to go about meeting your needs.

Thanks for the guideline Fox.
What I'm trying to do, is insert a auto-number to a text document.
I'm already able to read the last number (stored in a text file), and update it as well.
What I don't know, is how to insert this number, at the event of creation a new text document from a specific template, to a designated place in the document (template), something I used to do with a bookmark in MS-Word.
Thanks,
Hagay |
