You do a mail merge using a source file with all the numbers you need on it.
When it merges it will pull the numbers one at a time for each ticket.

See Mail Merge in help to assist you in setting it up. It is relatively
easy but the first time there is a bit of a learning curve.

Set up the merge data first (I use Excel) to create the data file. In cell
A1 type in your first ticket number then hold the Ctrl key down and then
drag the small square on the bottom right of that cell's outline down until
you get all the numbers you need for your ticket. (If you should let go of
the mouse button too soon, simply grab the new small square on the last cell
and continue to drag with the Ctrl key held. Save the Excel file and then
create your ticket file in Publisher and then complete your merge.

Hope this helps, let us know.

In addition to LVTravel's advice, be aware when you print preview in Publisher
2003 all the cards will have the same number. This is a Publisher bug. If you
are unsure print a test from the print dialogue.
