AppleScript in Word — do Visual Basic Article Contributed by AppleScript in Word 2004 The article below was written for Word X, 2001 and 98. All is changed utterly in Word 2004, which now has a fully developed native AppleScript dictionary – in fact it’s probably the largest AppleScript dictionary of any application on the Macintosh. You may perhaps run into an occasional bug – these are still early days – but it is solid, reliable and simply amazing after all the years of “making do”. So the ‘do Visual Basic’ command is no longer necessary in Word 2004. On the other hand, it’s still there and it still works, which is good to know in case you run into a problem.

More importantly, it means that older scripts using ‘do Visual Basic’ will continue to work in Word 2004. Note, however, that any lines – and I mean any lines – within a Word tell block in an older script and which are not part of a ‘do Visual Basic’ command will not work in Word 2004. They will have to be rewritten. This is easiest to do by opening your script in Word X, saving as Text, then opening it in Word 2004 and rewriting it using the new dictionary. If you open it as a compiled script instead, all the old keywords will appear in «raw code» which is unrecognizable: you will not know what your original English-like terms were. Saving and opening as text will display the English terms, making it easier to convert to the new keywords – which occasionally may even be the same English keywords hiding very different raw code implementations. If you have spent any time with ‘do Visual Basic’ before, or with Word VBA itself, your knowledge will have not gone to waste.

The new AppleScript uses the same Object Model as Word VBA, so you will be familiar with many of the terms and relationships. It actually makes for a very contorted syntax at times, particularly with all the many command parameters and enumerations (specially named constants), many of which are similar to each other and just run on, in AppleScript fashion, without the sort of “:=” punctuation used in VBA.

The Object Model is very complex, since it reflects the complex reality of Word. Don’t expect it to be like scripting a simple text editor such as Tex-Edit Plus. Earlier Word dictionaries attempted to emulate such text editors with the standard Text Suite but failed miserably in practice since Word’s binary structure could not be forced into a simple text model without things going dreadfully wrong. So scripting Word 2004 is definitely a complicated process, with a serious learning curve.

For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen and are an essential alternative to using a mouse.

But what a joy it is to have a scripting model that works. In order to find your way around what is virtually a new sub-language of AppleScript, you will need the promised Word AppleScript Reference, which will be made available as a download from MacTopia. Unfortunately, at the time of writing (release date of Office 2004 in May 2004), the Reference is not ready as yet.
