There has been no information released about any change to AppleScript in
Word 2004, and in any case nobody here has Word 2004. Furthermore, it can
all be done by AppleScript in Word X, 2001 and 98 by using the 'do Visual
Basic' command, but that of course does involve your learning the basics of
VBA to do so, which is what John meant. Native AppleScript in Word is
unusable because it crashes and is faulty. See
