You've never been able to record applescripts in Office...VBA, yes,

Sorry, that's what I meant with regard to Word. It doesn't appear to work now.

It's still there...tools=>macros=>record

No, no. What I was referring to was that previous versions of Word were actually recordable from the Script Editor. They just recorded mostly in VB. Here's an example of a script I just recorded in Word X.


tell application "Microsoft Word"
	activate
	do Visual Basic "	Documents.Add DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument"
	set contents of selection to "Test"
	do Visual Basic "	Selection.WholeStory"
	do Visual Basic "	Selection.Font.Grow"
	do Visual Basic "	Selection.Font.Grow"
	do Visual Basic "	Selection.Font.Color = wdColorRed"
end tell

Recording in Word 2004 from the Script Editor now doesn't do anything.
