Without api, the unreliable SendKeys Method:

Option Explicit
 
Sub SendKeysMethod()
 
    SendKeys "H", True
    SendKeys "E", True
    SendKeys "L", True
    SendKeys "L", True
    SendKeys "O", True
 
End Sub

End Sub

thanks,

i mean when user type any text in the word document.
can we get the character of press in the documents?

With the API it is either SendMessage, PostMessage, or Keybd_event APIs.

If you want to simulate a keypress you can also just use the TypeText method.

Oh, ok. Then you can create an event and trap for any changes or do a keyboard hook but it would only have to be hooking while word is the active app.

Could you please give me some example code for me?

I dont think I can give an example because its a bit involved and I am talking in logic only.

GetAsyncKeyState API will do a global hook on the keyboard. For each keypress you would need to get the actie application and see if its word, but then they could be pressing a shortcut key sequence like for saving copy/paste that might not result in a document change.

What exactly are you trying to do as there may be a better solution to this.?
