text block that will automatically count

[tim.131326]

I posted this in another location and was told that i should place it in the Programming Forums, i don't know much about VBA but i think this would have to be done useing it, so if it is in the wrong place again please let me know i am new to forums.

I am trying to make a block work, what i need it to do is count in numerical order as it is copied. For example I make a block called F and when it is inserted it will say F1 as i copy or insert again it would F2, F3, etc.... please help

What code have you got so far?

non to be honest i know nothing about VBA, we have tried different things in lisp form but no luck, tried a field and it did count but it just added the total # of blocks and placed that number and then all the blocks said F22

The trick (if you are new to programming) is to find pieces of code that might be doing what you want. Then take a closer look and edit them. Perhaps you already have bumped into some code you thought could be usefull?

It can be usefull to split all the desired steps into smaller steps, setting a new, small goal each time.
