old AppleWorks script failing under 10.5


  • Subject: old AppleWorks script failing under 10.5

Hello

Some years ago, I wrote a script exporting AppleWorks 6 WP document as .doc.
It works under 10.4.11.
Alas, under 10.5, the unique instruction really used to export doesn't change the kind of file.
It is saved with the .doc extension but it is an AppleWorks WP document.


May you try to help me to repair this annoying feature?

--[SCRIPT AWWP2Office8]
(*
Exécuter ce script
ouvre un documents TdT AppleWorks
et l'enregistreSous en fichier Office
dans le dossier "wasBOBO_nowOffice" sur le bureau.

Run the script
opens an AppleWorks WP
and save it as Office file
in the folder "wasBOBO_nowOffice" on the desktop.
