List of AutoNumbering formats

I have taken over some documentation from an individual with no training in FM.  They made multiple AutoNumbering paragraph styles, and it is a mess.

Going through their documents manually to find all of their AutoNumbering formats is quite time consuming.

Is there a method to just pull the AutoNumbering formats and formatting data regarding such?

Heck, even just a list of the Paragraph Styles they made that use AutoNumbering would be a good start.

Thanks!

    fwiw, I've taken a look at the .mif version of a file with both ordered- and unordered-list styles … perhaps at least discovering the style names could help, as then you could use the Find/Change on the .book or the .fm files to locate occurrences of the ill-defined.

    The .mif code for both types of list includes a line <PgfNumFormat in the style definition; occurrences then include the prefix as <PgfNumString

    ordered list

    <PgfNumFormat `<n+\>\\t'>
    <PgfTag `:ol'>
    <PgfNumString `1\t'>

    unordered list

    <PgfNumFormat `•\\t'>
    <PgfTag `:ul'>
    <PgfNumString `•\t'>
