when control are pasted in a sheet, for example
(EMBED("Forms.HTML:Text.1",""), excel numbers them, control x.

once these are deleted, is there any way to reset that numbering system so
subsequent pastes do not start at 1 + the last pasted control number?

i know exiting excel resets it, just wondering if there is a way to do it
programmatically.
