dismissing dialog box automatically

[Larry]

Someone pointed out recently how to dismiss a dialog box automatically
after a certain period of time, but I can't find my record of it. Can
anyone help me on this?

Hi, Larry,

On 14 August Klaus Linke pointed out to you that the dialog's .Display
method accepts an optional parameter. The Help says

"TimeOut [Optional Variant]. The amount of time that Word will wait before
closing the dialog box automatically. One unit is approximately 0.001
second. Concurrent system activity may increase the effective time value."

Thanks for finding that post, Jay. Sorry about that. I missed it
somehow.

Anyway, I just found a situation where it will come in real handy.
