Since macros are no longer supported in the latest version of AppleWorks
I am looking to AppleScript to take their place. I have quite a few
AppleWorks spread sheets wherein I track and graph data trends. I have
written macros to manipulate the spread sheet cells.
I would like to manipulate the cells using AppleScript. Specifically I
need AppleScript commands that will do all of the following;
1) Select an individual cell
2) Copy the cell contents
3) Paste the contents to another cell
4) Paste the value only (paste special) to another cell
5) Do 1, 2, and 3 of the above with a range of cells
Below is the script I have written to get me to a particular spread
sheet and it works but once there I have not been able to write anything
that accomplishes any of the above tasks.
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
activate
open file "Macintosh HD:AppleWorks 6:AutoSave:My Stuff Copy:Crude
Oil Futures"
tell file "Crude Oil Futures"
end tell
end tell
I have looked carefully at the AppleWorks dictionary, studied
AppleScript Language Guide, and read AppleScript in a Nutshell. I am
still lost.
I welcome and appreciate any and all help, hints, or suggestions.
Thank you for considering my problem.
Bob Christy
