I think we should keep the lowercase because some people make typos and might forget to capitalize the equipment numbers. If that makes it more difficult to write the code we can take out the lower case.

The range of the characters will most likely be between 4 to 12 digits.

Also yes, if possible. I'd like the equipment numbers highlighted in the word file and also displayed in a list format somewhere separate from the original document or as a final page that I can remove when done. This would be a duplicate list of what was highlight by the first part of the macro. This is just so I can verify what was highlighted and know if it caught any mistakes because it is such a wide search parameter.
