Chris,
Thank you so much! I tried it on a sample of my document and it works. It
did it in a way I wasn't expecting, but for the structure of my document it
works. I was thinking it about adding 1 to the numeric value of the end of
the string. Your script renumbers them starting with the counter value.
So it looks like I could just run it on the entire document or change the
counter start value and highlight the section of the document from the
duplicate to the end. In then end, this will be more useful to me since I
can let my attribute name be duplicated until I'm ready to number them with
your script so I don't have to correct any duplicate or erroneous id #s.
Thank you,
Michael
