AutoCAD/Autocad attributes

Question
Hello,
We use autocad 2002 to develop our electrical schematics.  Each page number has electrical line numbers that need changed to ex page 2 has line numbers that are 201,202,203, etc.  When I change to page 3 I want these to update to 301,302,303 instead of manually clicking each attribute.  Is  this possible to link the page number with each line number on the sheet?

Answer
I hate to say it but, this would be a fields issue if you were using 2006 or later.  With 2002, you'll probably have to dig up some kind of lisp routine to accomplish this task.  If I understood what exactly you're trying to do a little better, I might be able to suggest a lisp routine but, your problem is a bit confusing to me.  

Sorry I can't be of more help.
