hi all,
this is as far as I got:
tell application “Microsoft Word”
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Word"
keystroke "p" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
end tell
It matters what version of MS Word you are using; the Dictionary changed.
You should look at the Activity Monitor (in Applications:Utilities) to see what System Events calls the process. In the case of Word X it’s just “Word”.
You can print directly from word. See it’s dictionary.
I have not seen any successful attempts to Save to PDF for later printing. That Print Dialog button doesn’t seem to be reachable with GUI scripting. I think you may be stuck buying software that will do it.
