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.
