  • Thread-topic: Entourage -- getting/setting position of selection

Thanks for the quick reply. Now I'm able to find which window currently
owns the keyboard focus. I'm wondering why the syntax "front window" can
not be found in my Entourage's AppleScript dictionary. But it works
anyway.

Unfortunately, I still cannot get full solution to my problem, because
"position of front window" could not tell about the selected text, which
is the highlighted portion of body text. I can get the string selected
text by using "set myString to selection". But I also hope to find a way
to know where (the character offset) is the selected text located in the
body text. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Chen
