I am looking to have a macro made for me to use in Microsoft Word 365 (current). The purpose of this macro is to give a visual representation of delays in typing and word formation in a visually simplistic way. I need the macro script to do the following: • If the user stops typing, after some short amount of time, the computer will begin advancing the cursor based on these rules: o If the user stops typing mid word, after a couple of seconds, hyphenate the word and begin placing a space every 1 second until the user begins to type. o If the user stops typing after a space, begin placing space every 1 second until the user begins to type. o If the user stops typing after a period “.”, give them a couple of seconds, then start placing a space every 1 second until the user begins to type. Expressed in a little more programmer-oriented way: • If user has not typed for some configurable amount of time, begin loop • Check the following conditions continuously or use intrupts and repeat action until user begins typing on keyboard. o If previous key was aA through zZ or 1-0 or any other asci character not defined below, then wait 2 seconds then key hyphen “-“ o If previous key was space “ “ then wait 1 second and key space “ “ o If previous key was period “. , ! ?” Then wait 2 seconds then key space “ “ o If previous key is not any of the defined conditions above or something goes wrong exit with an error. • If user starts typing on keyboard, reset all values timers and conditions to initial values and restart from the top. • Regardless of the initial character, the program will transition over to space “ “ by the second iteration of the loop. There are a few things to consider: • The purpose of this macro is to keep the cursor moving forward at regular intervals and needs to transition to placing a space every 1 second regardless of the initial condition. • The macro must detect and mute itself while the user is typing and cannot add phantom characters into the text unless the conditions to do so have been met. • There cannot be any notable delays in typing caused by the macro running in the background.
