Adding a serial number to print copies in Microsoft Word

I am attempting to make a "Serial Number" starting lets say at 4000 on a form that was written in Microsoft Word 2003.

Is there a way to autoincrement the serial number each time a "Copy" is printed?

Example:  I print 50 copies of the document and the serial changes from 4000 to 4050.

Basically it doesn't need to be that complicated hopefully.

Just  a sheet where you type in the starting serial number and then it sequences the next 50 copies off one page hopefully.

The interim solution right now is to just create a spreadsheet and merge it with the word doc.  I printed out about 200 pages of this serialized doc and that will last us for a few months   I guess the most simple solution can be the best one :)

Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
