I made a script that makes text files out of my indesign files for spell
checking purposes. However all my text files are MAC encoded. So I was trying
to make a text edit script that loops through the text files and simply
resaves them as Western PC Latin 1 encoding as that is what I do manually to
make it work. But I don't seem to be able to do it via a script.
Any ideas on how I can reword the below to create a PC text file?
repeat with j in mylist
tell application "TextEdit"
open file j
save as Unicode text in j -- I need the proper wording here
close document 1
end tell
end repeat
My translator usually spell checks her translation in word on a PC so that's
why I need this conversion to work.
Best, Patrik
