Turns out it works at normal speed in a small (10-p.) document; the

on is the two characters on either side of the cursor (or two selected
characters), why would it need to search the entire file?

I don't remember the particular macro, but I don't use Windows 7 so cannot
check it out. If you post the code, someone else may be able to check it.
