[Discussion] repeating macro

[Arthur Menu]

Hi all,

I used the record macro function in both WordPro and Starwriter (OO 1.5) 
to create macros that copy a line of text, enter a carriage return, and 
paste the line of text. Very simple. What I would like to have, and not 
being a programmer don't know how to do, is a macro that will do what I 
have described but first asks me how many times I want to do it, allows 
me to input a number, and then runs the macro just that many times 
consecutively.

So if I have the following line of text:

word1 word2

and start the macro, and am asked how many times to run it, and I enter 
5, I will get

word1 word2
word1 word2
word1 word2
word1 word2
word1 word2
word1 word2

If it is a very simple thing, for someone who knows how, to create such 
a macro in either WordPro or Starwriter, would they be kind enough to 
send it to me privately? Once I get it I will examine the script so as 
to see how to do the repeat thing for other macros I may want to create.

Thanks,
Arthur
