WaitForIdle and sleep

[#1]

Please let me know the difference between following two statements -

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.WaitForIdle

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 2000

Well, "Sleep" waits until the specified amount of time has elapsed, "WaitForIdle" waits until idle state has been reached - if that never happens due to whatsoever reason, macro execution waits forever unless you have specified a timeout.
