Thank you VERY much for the help!!
Now it was easy to find out how it should be done in spreadsheets:
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
tell front document
set style of cell 1 of row 1 to {on styles:{bold}}
--or for a whole row:
set style of row 3 to {on styles:{bold}}
end tell
end tell
But how on earth should I have been able to deduce from the dictionary that the on/off styles are record labels?? I guess that means that the value of the class 'text style info' is really a record(?) Or...?
Why doesn't the dictionary say so, or if it really does,
how shall I interpret it? (Would be good to know for the next time.)
I.e, how can I (from the dictionary) know that properties CANNOT be set by:
set on styles of style of word 1 to {bold}
but must be set by:
set style of word 1 to {on styles:{bold}}
The only clue I can see is that 'on styles' is a list. But on the other hand, not all lists are records!? Hmm...
With Many Thanks and the Best Regards,
