Pls help. :)

I have a chunk of code that I need to repeat over and over 700 times:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx !1
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My problem is that where the !1 is I need to make that !2 on the next repeat, then !3, !4 etc. up to !700.

Thanks.
 
What kind of "code"?
To a software jockey, that would suggest "program code"; if so, you'd be best advised running it in a loop with a variable counter. Every "decent" programming language will let you do that.

If that's not the case, run an Excel or WinWord macro that produces the desired outcome.
 
Use Excel and cut & paste.

Put your repeat text in Cell A1 and B1 (A1 being the text before the number, B1 being those after).

Put numbers 1 to 700 in Cell A2 to A702.

Put formula in Cell B2 '=$A$1&A2&$B$1'.

Fill down column B

Copy and paste
 
Hi. Just a quick question. How does one get the spelling assist to work with these forums? I remember that it worked well a few months back but it is not coming up on my screen.

Any suggestions ?

in firefox
tools > options > advanced tab > general tab > tick 'check my spelling as i type'

Thanks for the tip. I checked the tab and it was already ticked. But I still don't get corrections. Any other suggestions ? I thought it might be part of Word ? (I'm just realising how poor my natural spelling has become!)
 
Beautiful Ozguy!! Thanks very much. (No excuses for spellling mistakes now.. Unless I want to )
