numbering raffle tickets in word
I want to make a raffle ticket template in word. I want to print out 4000 tickets, 8 per sheet, making it 500 sheets of paper. I want them to be numbered down the column of tickets. So, the top left raffle ticket would be number 1, then on the second sheet the top left raffle ticket would be number 2 and so on till the last sheet top left raffle ticket would be number 500. Then the top right raffle ticket would be number 501 and so on. The first sheet would have numbers 1,501,1001,1501,2001,2501,
