applescript help

[lawrie1947]

Hi,
There is a solution below to the problem of pasting from word2008 to DWCS3

I cannot work out how to 'how to set to clipbord result (highlighted below:

1. Fire any applescript editor (ie, the Script Editor application).
2. Type this:
----------
tell application "Microsoft Word"
content of selection
end tell

set the clipboard to result
----------
3. Go to Word, click the little script menu icon, choose "about" and click
"open folder".
4. Save there the script as a compiled script with the following name:
"copyOK\c.scpt" (this is WHATEVER+backslash+c+".scpt")

This overrides for me the standard "copy" function in Word (as it assigns the
shortcut Apple+C to the script).

You can assing whatever shortcut you wish. For example,
WHATEVER+backslash+sc+".scpt" will result in the shortcut Command+Shift+C.

Thanks

Lawrie
