I have lots of trouble porting an lawyer's office administrative system
which relies mainly on a FileMaker set of databases and Applescripts
transferring names, addresses and case references to MS Word (initially
Office 98) for mail redaction.
In OS 9, simple commands like
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set cell 2 of table 1 of front document to customerAddress
save front document in folderPath & folderName & ":" & saveName
end tell
worked perfectly. Now, with the upgrade to Panther (and, subsequently
to Office X), i'm dumped in big trouble because none of the simple
commands (make new table, set cell .. of table .., etc) works anymore.
For some of them, i for sure can use the "do Visual basic" command,
followed by the reference of the table to be created.
But my most important trouble remains to SET the CELLS of the newly
created table... I need to put variables in these celles, thos
variables being the names and case references, etc..., which come from
FileMaker...
Ant help would be grandly appreciated, for no litterature already
exists on how to Applescript Word X.
Many txs in advance
Claude
