Default Start of Document Code Problem

I am writing code to highlight "ance" in a Word document. In Braille, there is a contraction for "ance" (and other combinations of letters). My macro seems to work provinding the document does not start with "ance".



It would be appreciated if someone could tell me how to include the "if the document does not start with "ance" condition.

I am attaching the code.
Code:
Sub HighlightAnceIfNotStartOfWord() 
    Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range 
     ' Search document for specified text and highlight text.
    With oRng.Find 
        .Text = "ance" 
         '
         ' .Highlight - colour - yellow if previous character if alphabetic character - otherwise turquoise.
        .Wrap = wdFindStop 'stops at the end of the document
        While .Execute 
             ' MsgBox (oRng.Characters.First.Previous)
            If (Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) >= 65 And Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) <= 90) _ 
            Or (Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) >= 97 And Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) <= 122) _ 
            Then 
                oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow 
            Else: oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise 
            End If 
        Wend 
    End With 
End Sub
