Default 2000 pages

My apologies - perhaps I came over as slightly irritated. The reason you
want this is academic. The point is that macros are usually used to save
time, or maybe to guarantee accuracy - either for long-running or
oft-repeated tasks.

Your question was

Is there a way to set word to fill a page 2000 times with the same text.
(i.e) "w"


The answer (that I hinted at) is that this is not a difficult task and that
as you are, presumably, only going to do it once, you can do it manually and
don't need a macro.

It is the work of seconds to manually press and hold the "w" key until you
have a few lines and copy and paste a few times until you have a page or two
and copy and paste that a few times until you have a few tens of pages and
copy and paste that until you have a couple of hundred and on to 2000.

I am trying to find what the file size would be


Perhaps my calculation was a bit rough and ready but I wouldn't have thought
there was a need for precision in this. I just did the above and the file
size was 5.03MB.

I cannot see how knowing the size of file that would be created by typing
some 5 million "w"s helps in scoping anything for handicapped (or
non-handicapped) people. If your real requirement is something more than
this, we could help you better if you explained it more fully.

Not to be rude but I am in the process or building a scope of buisness
practices for a person that is handicap. I know there has to be a vbscipt
or
like the previous Doug Robbins mentioned that you can add code to a macro.

Any help would be appreciated

be
about 5 megabytes. How does that help you with anything?
