Business Card Question
Ken 11.07.2006 13:52:02
Hi, I hope you all are doing well.

I am making business cards in Word, or actually tickets for a raffle using
same format as business card. Is there a way to insert something to cause
each card to have a unique number. On the left side of the page is a brief
excerpt about the raffle and on the right side of the page is the raffle
ticket. I tear one row off the 8.5x11 sheet, give the left side to the
purchaser and put the right side with they info in the ticket pouch. I'd like
to put a number in the top left of both the pieces and have the remaining
four rows on the page have a unique # for ticket accountability purposes.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have the great day.

See http://www.gmayor.com/Numbered_labels.htm. Also, I will point out, in
case you care, that you can get prenumbered printable raffle tickets at
Office Depot (their own brand). Each package has a different run of numbers,
so you can buy as many packages as you need without fear of duplication. I
discovered this when I was trying to create raffle tickets the way you are
doing and found that it has become much more difficult to find plain white
microperforated business cards: they're all "clean break" (die-cut) now,
which, for business cards, is highly desirable, but it is not at all
suitable when you're trying to keep two "cards" together.
