For the first time I tried to use Automator with Word 2008. I speak
french, but I will try to make myself understood in English! I
started Automator with the Custom option. Then I started recording
my actions in Word: replace a character by another. I recorded my
actions Observer. But when I run the macro, it tells me there is a
mistake. What is this error? Thank you for your help!
I've written some blog entries providing tips for troubleshooting
Automator workflows, which you can find here...
<http://www.automatedworkflows.com/tips/users/peachpit/peachpit.html>
You may want to check them out, as they may help you to identify the
problem.
Also, Word 2008 (except for the Home & Student Edition) includes an
action called "Find and Replace Text in Word Documents", which may
allow you to do what you need without recording. So, you may want to
give that a try, as well.

P.S. If you're new to Automator, and you have not done so already, you
may want to check out my book... "Automator for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard:
Visual QuickStart Guide" (Peachpit Press). <http://www.automatedworkflows.com/books/automator_vqs.html
