Wait Command

The Wait submenu of the Command Menu gives access to the Wait command with different wait times. 

The syntax of the Wait command is, {Wait} followed by a wait time in milliseconds, followed by {/Wait} as in the following example, where the specified wait time is of 100 milliseconds:

        {command}{Wait}100{/Wait}{NoSpacing}

The Wait command is especially useful to slow down Instant Text when needed between two commands. In the following command used in Microsoft Word:

       {command}{Alt F8}{Wait}200{/Wait}macro1{Enter}{NoSpacing}

Alt+F8 triggers a macro window to pop up and we need to introduce a wait time to give Word the time to pop up this macro window before sending the characters m a c r o 1, else these characters may get lost and our expansion may not produce what we designed it for.
