Hi,
I’m writing an AppleScript to automate a text find/replace in Microsoft Word. I’d love for the operation to take place in all open documents at the same time.
The “find object” of the “text object” of a document has a boolean property called “all documents”. The “find object” is supposed to be the AppleScript version of the preferences that one is able to set using Word’s “Replace” dialog. I succeeded at setting “all documents” to true, however, when I attempted to run the operation using Word’s “execute find” command, it returned an error: “access not allowed”.
Am I missing something? Here’s the script I’m testing, this simply replaces all hyphens with non-breaking hyphens (I would love it if the script operated on ALL open documents). This assumes that there are multiple docs open, any feedback appreciated! Thanks 
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set CurrentFindObject to find object of text object of active document
set all documents of CurrentFindObject to true
execute find CurrentFindObject find text "-" replace with "^~" replace replace all
end tell
