Word - Page Numbers based on print copies?

[Kiloelectronvolt]

Hi All,

I tried asking on microsoft forums, and I'm banging my head against a wall. I have a microsoft word question maybe you guys know how to answer.


We bought a thermal printer that prints off of a roll. (Endless stickers.) If we tell word to print 7 copies, it will print off 7 stickers. (7 pages)


Word asks "# of copies" in the print screen, and I type how many I need for that run. This example, being 7 copies or pages.


So, I would love the first sticker/page to say 1 of 7. The 2nd sticker will come off saying 2 of 7. Until all 7 pages are printed. Basically indicating we printed 7 copies. The final will say 7 of 7. Almost like page numbers, but for # of copies instead. I want this automated based on how many we print each session though.



So, if John's order has 7 pieces, I would print 7 copies and it would say 1 of 7, 2 of 7, etc.

And if Steve's order has 3 pieces, I would print 3 copies, and it would say 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.
