jpl,

I will confirm that the French version and regional settings appear to have nothing to do with it. I see the same behavior as you and your friends.

My experience is that that the code starts out relatively fast and gets slower as it runs. Add Debug.Print i to the code and watch the immediate window. Here 100 runs in 0 sections, 500 2.001, 2000 18.99 (with your hide/show window mod). Before the mod, 2000 was going to take several minutes.

Paul, I'm running Word 2010, Windows 7 (all updated) as well. I don't have any add-in loaded either. Do you think this could be related to a difference in print drivers or set setting that you might have applied?
