Good morning everyone! I haven't been able to find a formula to accomplish this, and maybe there isn't one, but I figured if anyone could figure it out, it would be the people at Mr. Excel, so here goes.

I have created a form in Excel 2003 that will be printed on standard 8-1/2"x11" paper on a regular laser or inkjet printer. What I want to do is to have designated cells on my form indicate form number ?? of ??, and then when I print the form have the pages increment (or decrement) by (1) each time a copy of the form prints. For example: If I need to print 50 of the forms, the designated cells would indicate...1 of 50, 2 of 50, 3 of 50, 4 of 50, etc.

I would be grateful if anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this. I must forewarn you that I have no experience with Visual Basic, so if that is the only way to accomplish this, you'll have to explain it to me like I am a child. :-)

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Respectfully,
Tosty
 
Ifrite, thank you very much for the tutorial. I managed to get a macro recorded thanks to your instructions. I am still working on figuring out how to assign a “button” to the macro to make it run. I appreciate all the help you have provided.
