| Well, since my last appeal to this list sparked such a great conversation, I'll try it again.
I've written a whole bunch of code that searches for text in MS Word and modifies it as desired. Just to get it working, I wrote it all as one big monollthic block of code, but I'd like to break it up into subroutines. The problem is that I need to pass stuff like MS Word text objects, text ranges, and so forth. I tried using standard parameter passing like this:
tell application "Microsoft Word" set wholeStory to (create range active document start 0 end (count of characters in active document)) processText(wholeStory) end tell
on processText(wholeStory) ....do stuff... end processText
It compiles OK, but I get an error when it tries to do the subroutine call, and I would bet that it's because AppleScript can't grok the chunk of data Word is handing it.
Is there a way to do this or is AS just incapable of hacking the wacky world of Microsoft?
Thanks!
