Hi All,
I while back I came across a Script that did a Select All and a Paste as below in Outlook but I can’t for the life of me find it!
If someone could tell me the magic formula I’d really appreciate as I can’t seem to get it right. At the time when this snippet runs, the Correct Field in Outlook has been selected:
tell application id "com.microsoft.Outlook"
activate
set myClipboard to the clipboard
set the clipboard to “HELLO WORLD"
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "a" using command down
keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
set the clipboard to myClipboard
end tell
Assuming that the name of the process is "Microsoft Outlook" it may help to use :
tell application id "com.microsoft.Outlook" activate set myClipboard to the clipboard
set the clipboard to “HELLO WORLD"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Microsoft Outlook" set frontmost to true keystroke "a" using {command down} keystroke "v" using {command down} end tell
set the clipboard to myClipboard end tell
As you see, I enclosed the modifiers in brackets. I'm not sure that they are required by Outlook.
