I need to generate a serial unique ID whenever a new document is created. Let's say a text field with numbers that is incremented every time.:dunno

Ya .. I did after I posted the question .. and I found it .. Thanks a lot.:thumb

I could not run the code ... there is a message saying that the reference refes to a protected area of the document ... (I am using OS X .. and I changed the path properly) ... The template is saved somewhere in the applications Folder and the text file .. was on Desktop.
at this line :
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("oNum").Range.InsertBefore Format(oNum, "00#") Why is that ?

I resolved it .. I used another method for opening files .. on OS X :
Open Filename$ For Input As #FileHandle
works better than the way in the link above.
Thanks
