I completely failed to understand the needs but now I see your code in
action I am impressed.

Both with the code and your interpretaion of OP's question.

After looking at your response to Gord Dibben, I've changed the macro so the
Text goes in Cell A105. You can easily change this in the macro.

Sub Macro1()
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
Dim x As Integer, y As Integer
Dim strMyCell As String

strMyCell = "A105" 'where TEXT goes
x = 10 'indent 10 times
y = 5 'perform process 5 times
' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

For j = 1 To y
For i = 1 To x
'wait 1 second between indent
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
'indent
Range(strMyCell).InsertIndent 1
Next i
'un-indent same # of times you
' indented to start again
Range(strMyCell).InsertIndent -x
Next j

End Sub

One last quetion, why I can't write on the file while the code is running?

Because Excel can do one thing at a time.

While your code is running you must suspend all other activity.

Cool, eh?
