Tell application "FileMaker Pro"

"whateverYourDatabaseIsCalled"
set the clipboard to myText

Make sure your database is open first. It will work faster if you skip
the "activate" command. You may need to "tell document 1" in Word to paste.

Hello Everybody-
I have again stumbled across another road block.
I am trying to copy data from a from a field in FileMaker and then
pasting
that data into Word document. No syntax I use seems to work.
Here is a failed script attempt of the things I
Tell application "FileMaker Pro"
Activate
Select (data of cell "z _yearMonthSpreadsheet")
Copy
End tell
Tell application "Microsoft Word"
Paste
End tell
Apparently FileMaker does not understand the select command.
Does anyone have anyother suggestions?
Thanks For Your help!
Courtney
