Yes, columns 2 and 3 would have to match where the row has column 3. The document is one big table...but for formatting, some are broken across pages with CR. If macros cannot see the CR break in a table, then that is better..it will move to the next table row? I was concerned it would break the execution. The number of rows is a variable (this particular document has 136 numbered steps). I'd like the colour to change and have some way to log the other step numbers that are duplicates.
