Hi,
Yes it is, but not so easy. The script I sent will open word files as
text, which is easier, as Microsoft tends to have open screens that
interfere with the script.
I forget where I put the last script I extracted text from word with,
but when I find it, I'll send you a copy or a working script.

OK,
tell application "Finder"
set myDoc to alias "Macintosh
HD:Users:MyUserName:Documents:YourDocument.doc"
set modDate to the modification date of myDoc
set createDate to the creation date of myDoc
tell application "TextEdit"
open myDoc
set MyText to every paragraph of the front document
quit myDoc
end tell
set allThis to "Creation Date " & createDate & "¬
Modification Date " & modDate & " " & MyText
display dialog allThis

Thanks so much Peter - that worked well!
I also have some MS .doc files and tried this:
----------
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
open myDoc
set MyText to every paragraph of the front document
end tell
display dialog MyText
-----------
-but the MyText didn't seem to copy - it had error = can't make {}
into a
string
I also tried things like:
set MyText to select every paragraph
But that didn't work either
- sorry for the newbie questions
Is it possible to copy in MS word 2004?
