Simple (but too specific) question:
How do I set the background color of a range in excel? (already have the
range)
More generic question, answering which would probably help me answer the
previous one myself:
How do you search the dictionaries? Is there any sort of search facility
or do you have to guess and hope Google is your friend?
Also, is there a way to look up something you find in the docs, a-la
hypertext? For instance, in Microsoft Excel dictionary, Table Suite >
Classes > range. I'm looking for something that sets the background
color. I take a wild guess that it's something to do with /font object/
proprty (OK, it's read-only, but humor me or answer question 1 above),
which I see is a /font/. How do I find /font/ short of looking through
each and every class of each and every suite of the Excel and Standard
Additions dictionaries looking for a class called "font"? (And,
pertaining to my earlier name resolution issue, how do I know I found
the right one?).
Also, in the Elements section, is there any sort of description of what
each element is? Maybe format condition is what I'm interested in, but
what is it, and what's it for? I've been trying to do something
incredibly simple and have started to bang my head against the wall in
preference to having to wade through these docs again. I /must/ be doing
something wrong. I feel like I'm on the verge of doing amazing things
with AppleScript if only I could learn to use the dictionaries like I
use the Java API in my day job :-)
Help the newbie, please...
Thanks
