Figure 5–1. Column A is tube number
Typically, the tube number column is filled with the numbers 1-20 or 1-
30. The easiest way to quickly enter consecutive numbers in this row is
to enter the number "1" in the left uppermost cell (A1). Then highlight
the cells from that cell until cell A20, if you want twenty tubes, or cell
A30 if you want thirty tubes. Then select EditFillSeries and hit
return.
Another way to accomplish the same series is to type "1" into cell A1,
and "2" into cell A2, and then drag the very small square indicated
below.
The next three columns, B, C and D, are used to enter text lines 1, 2 and
3, respectively. Each row corresponds to the tube which is specified in
column A.
The ID Scribe application always starts with Row 1 in Excel. So if you
wish to print some text on tube number 2, you still must use the first
row, but simply indicate the tube number you want to print on (Fig 5-2).
