Default Trouble with Acronym Lister

Hello. I am trying to run the macro found at the link below and having trouble.

https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...generator.html

I downloaded a copy of the relevant proposal document from SharePoint to my desktop. I'm on a company computer on a network using Office 365 and automatically synching (I think) everything to OneDrive.

Since the proposal document for which I need an acronym list was crashing within seconds when I ran the macro, I made a one sentence document with this:

This is a Project Management Plan (PMP), in which several Office of Program Manager (OPM) employees will conduct General Study Operations (GSO).

The run brought up
Compile error: Ambiguous name detected: ParseNumSeq

As a guess (I am very much not a coder) I deleted code from End Sub on, reran the macro, and produced the expected table instantly. I then tried running it on a twelve-page partial copy of the proposal document (nearly 50 pages), only to have it crash again.

I have not included the Manager macro, just the first one, sans the section indicated above.

I can't provide the proprietary document. Here are some things I am guessing might be an issue; perhaps someone can advise.

The document starts with a title page comprising a large table with text and a logo graphic over a background image. This is followed after a next page (NP) section break by a hyperlinked TOC and TOF. After another NP section break, the proposal content begins. The document includes additional NP section breaks.

Otherwise, nothing extraordinary about the proposal document -- text, graphics, tables, captions, etc.

Any help will be appreciated, as always.
