They can contain interactive content but, for what you described, that makes such a macro fairly pointless, since it's going to have to pause at each match and wait for user input, just as it would when using Find/Replace.

Once the macro finds any of these spaces, I will substitute them with non-breaking spaces, if I consider that they are applicable.
Maybe I'm missing something here - you first asked whether a macro could supply the non-breaking spaces interactively. How is your re-worded requirement any different in that regard?
