Hi I am developing education tools and need some help.



I want a Word VBA script to emulate someone pressing the right arrow key (so sort of scrolls down the document slowly) with the ability to change the amount of time this occurs.

This is to assist students learning languages where we want to keep going down the document as a slow but consistent speed.

Running on MS Office 2016.

Try something like this
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.AutoScroll Velocity:=20

How do I run that?

Sorry I am a beginner at these things.

OK I figured it out. But that scrolls down. I wanted it to emulate pressing the right arrow key.

I found something that says it is "vbKeyRight" here Keycode constants | Microsoft Docs

But I cannot figure out how to execute this.

The problem with what you are asking is how do you intend to stop the macro. If you kick it off, the only way to stop it is to interrupt the code or put in a trigger to stop the macro.

How do you envisage to start or stop the continuous stepping?
