Is there a difference in versions? I'm using AppleScript 1.5.5, OS 9.1, and MS
Office:mac 2001.
You are right about the missing "End Tell" (closing the 'tell app "Word"' block)
coming before 'tell app "Excel"'.
If the VB script errors, it won't return and the AppleScript will time out. Try
the Visual Basic code in the Visual Basic editor in Word and see if it runs
correctly.
Enter the following into a VB code window.
Sub test()
For Each OLEobject in ActiveDocument.Shapes
If OLEobject.Creator = 1297307460 then
OLEobject.Activate
End If
Next
End Sub
And hit the run button. Debug the VB code there, and when it works, cut it out
(without the Sub...End Sub wrapper) and paste it into the AppleScript.
