Thanks to all for the suggestions on navigating in Excel using Applescript. I
have my scripts working exactly as I need them to now and they are extremely
fast compared to the Quickeys Macros I was using before.
I have two more questions: 1) Is there a way to assign scripts to run using a
specific key combination while using Excel. I am trying to emulate the way
Quickeys works by assigning a "trigger" to each script. For instance, the
combination of control-g would play a specific script to type specific text entries
into a row of Exel. Would this involve some kind of "meta script" that would
call on the scripts that contain each of the text macro scripts I've already
programmed? Or is this kind of thing even possible?
2) Is there a way to program Applescript to wait until it sees a specifec key
(for instance an "enter" key) before it resumes its playback? I would like
for some of these macros to pause (for instance until after I've entered a check
number) before continuing to play back.
Sorry for such basic questions. I should be receiving "AppleScript / The
Definitive Guide" and "AppleScript in a Nutshell" in the next couple of days from
Amazon. Hopefully that should clear some of this up. Any other suggestions for
a beginner's book in AppleScript programming?
