Marrick,

The method Graham and I used looped through each element of an array and searched for each element of that array in the Heading 1 text. Apparently that process simply takes more time than looping though a simple count and evaluating InStr. It is hardly noticeable with one or two heading but certainly apparent in large documents as Paul demonstrated.

He is usually pretty good at seeing those efficiencies and school all of us here.
