Word: automating the repetition of a macro run

[cmmnctng]

In MS Word, how do you arrange for a macro to run many times in immediate
succession, without separately activiting each run? I don't want to build
X-number of repetitions into the macro itself, because the required multiple
won't be consistent. I might need 1000 repetitions of the macro now; 10,000
a half-hour later; and 200 at another point.

WordPerfect 8.0 had a "repeat next action" feature. You specified a certain
multiple, and when you triggered the macro, it ran that many times. Is there
some comparable function or method in Word?

You can do a inputbox at the beginning of the macro to specify how many times
to run it, then use a "For x = 1 to y" where y is the variable you can use to
specify how many times to run it.

sample:

y = InputBox(prompt:="How many times do you want the macro to run")

Or, call is with a parameter:

sub mysub(x)

for i = 1 to x
....
