Default macro to identify long stretches of sentence without commas or periods

I am new to the forum, so I hope I am replying to the thread correctly.



My macro request is much simpler than that. I don't want it to make any grammar suggestions at all. I just want it to identify long stretches without commas or periods by highlighting them. The macro that I found can do the same thing, but only accounts for long sentences. I assume that is because it counts the number of words between periods. I want one that will count the number of words between either commas or periods.

My use for this is in prepping manuscripts for narration. If I can identify a long, run-on sentence ahead of time, I can look at it and figure out ahead of time where to breathe. I can then add a comma or another indicator manually to tell myself to breathe when I am recording the narration.
