Replace Find: AUTONUMLGL with SEQ

I do not think this will be all that helpful, though since the fields have different switches.

vba would probably be required. For me, this would not be simple.

Thanks, I’ll have to try it! After the initial SEQ with the switch giving it my starting number, the subsequent ones were all the same.
