If there is a general Microsoft Office or software thread, I'll throw this in there and apologize for putting this here but I couldn't find anything when I searched. I searched Google for the answer as well but nothing, mostly because I don't know what the method would be called. I'll explain in detail.
So, my boss gave me an assignment today, didn't think it would take long or be a big deal. Due tomorrow. Basically, because everyone is remote now, they need certain documents at home with them. Each person in the office needs 10 copies of 3 documents. She wants them thrown on Google Drive under their names. No problem.
So, here's the thing though. For each person, I wondered, okay, I only need to put one copy of the file to their name on the g drive. Wrong. Each copy needs to be numbered. Not only the file name but also in the file itself. So the first 10 copies for the first person would be numbered 100-109. Each document header when opened needs to have the corresponding number. So they open file named "100", the header says 100. They use the next one, 101 and when opened, header says 101. So on and so forth...
So 10 copies of 3 kinds of word documents for 74 people. I think maybe I'd just open each one, write the number in their and "save as"as the corresponding number. I've done 10 so far.
I know there's a shortcut for this, there has to be. I think I've actually seen it. You open the word doc and it creates whatever number of copies you need and each one is numbered separately in the doc.
I'd do a tl;dr but it wouldn't make sense. I'll answer any questions, thanks.
