copy command question


  • Subject: copy command question

I am working on a script that will copy text from an Adobe
InDesign document into a FM Pro database (my first script ever,
actually) and am unable to get the selected text onto the clipboard.
So far it looks like this

--test script
--InDesign 1.52 copy text and paste to db
tell application "InDesign 1.5.2"
set mySelection to selection
copy

--open database
tell application "Finder" to open file "testdb"
end tell


i have tried making InD active for the copy like you have to with the
finder and that hasn't worked either. The scripting pdf from Adobe
lists no parameters for the copy command and am not sure what to try
next. Any help would be greatly appreciated....
