Controlling Word 98 in Classic with AppleScript

I have an AppleScript that is used to paste data from Excel 98 to Word 98. It was created in OS 9, and runs fine in OS 9. However, when Office is run via Classic, the script no longer works. It starts to run, then eventually times out.

If I open the editable version of the script in the Classic Script Editor, it will run.

I tried saving the same script via the OS X Script Editor, but that won't work either.

Is it possible to control Office 98 in Classic with AppleScript?


Thank you,

Kristina
