A bit rusty. Need simple Word script to copy contents or save as text

  • Thread-topic: A bit rusty. Need simple Word script to copy contents or save as text

I¹ve got an Entourage script that opens Word doc attachments.  I need to
copy the text inside the Word doc to a variable where I clean it up then
write it out as a text file for another process to pick up. The script
already saves body content of email as the text if it is the content to
processed, rather than an attached Word document.

So, I¹m content with simply copying all of the text of the open document to
a variable and then saving it as text. But I can¹t get the syntax to copy
the contents. If that doesn't work then save it as text file in different
location with new name and I'll then grab the contents of that file to clean
up.

Thanks,

Dan Doughtie
