My new e-book: Take Control of Users and Accounts in Panther

did anybody write something like "take control of word(x)" ? i mean, since i installed it (including all the old stuff from office 98 to access excel files etc) my machine has been take over by freezes !!! i hate it !!! there is even a bug somewhere (since i installed classic and office 98) that makes mail.app totally freeze the system (with no crash log no nothing, just a radical good ol' freeze->forced restart->5mn for checking the disks etc before login window comes) when office/classic has been in use since the last boot !!!

i haaaaaate m$stuff !

can't all those company techies figure out another nicer (?) format ! pretty much all the stuff i do in technical translation could be done (aught to be done) with free tex like stuff (lyx etc) ! get real you corporate guys !!!!!

ok. cool down.

anybody here using applescript in wordx ?

i'd like to do the following thing since most of the work i have is basically over writing the original with the translation:

have applescript select a paragraph
copy it in a display window
let me write my translation below it
reinsert the translated stuff at the original spot

(i don't care so much about formatting, italics et all right now, just want to have the paragraph separately from the word document).

it looks like it is _exactly_ what AS is able to do, i just don't have the brain at the right place right now... heeeelp ! if somebody could give me just the core structure of that thing, i could fiddle with it and start learning...
