Can VBA count changes made in real time?

[wardw]

When editing Word documents, I have an add-in that prompts me to save changes every 5 minutes. But often, I make very few changes in that time, so it's not worth saving. I'd like to build a macro that alerts me to save, but only after I make a specified number of changes.



Can VBA count changes made in real time without Track Changes turned on? (I don't use Track Changes, because after many changes, documents crash and aren't recoverable.)
