Difficulty Selecting Multiple Text Boxes Using Find

Hi, I've got an issue that I'm hoping is an easy fix, but I'm still pretty new to ACAD LT so I'd appreciate some guidance.

We have over 11,000 text boxes in one drawing, each is the location of a different soil test. They are labeled simply as numbers (1, 456, 8546, etc) and are all in the same layer. However, there are a lot of duplicates (over 3,000) and some test numbers are missing. Using 'overkill' I've figured out how to delete duplicates, but there are still missing numbers (the total number of tests is about 500 less than the highest test number that we have). I would like to find out which test numbers are missing so that we can look up the information for those tests and add them into our drawing. Short of manually going to 'find' and looking for each number individually to make sure its there, is there a way to select all of the tests and see a list of each one selected so I can sort and look for the missing numbers? Maybe export into excel? A completely different solution that I'm not thinking of? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for the help!

There is no tool in LT to find "missing test numbers" in a DWG file.

For options to export text to Excel from LT, explore this earlier post: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-general-discussion/export-text-to-a-cvs-or-excel-file/td-p/...
