Hi,
I would like to make a speed reading macro but I haven't programmed for ages and just can't get started. Basically this macro would just highlight a set number of words and run through the document this way.
the technical difficulty would reside in the fact that it can only highlight words on the same line so if, say, towards the end of the line, it is supposed to highlight 5 words but there are only 4 left, it should NOT highlight the first word of the next line. Yet there is no carriage return at the end of most lines...
Just an example of what I'm looking for (with 5 words):
1:
The most important thing about speed dating is the speed. Indeed speaking
in a high speed, high pitch voice is the best strategy you can adopt.
2:

3:

4:

5:

6:

Any ideas? Help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!
