Glad you're still around after 10 years of posting it! Ha!
Percent signs still work, it's just considered the "legacy" version of variables.
Also, there is some type of bug between SendPlay and Microsoft Word. If I use SendPlay it doesn't work in word, just, nothing. But if I change it to Send, it works.
Not sure if that's an issue with Word 2019 or just Word period.

Thanks for your comment. I still use that code with the percent signs, need to go thru the documentation one of these days to see what else I'm missing. Like you, I found that a delay was needed, and I've updated the gist accordingly.
