To defend Paul for a mo. I don't think he was responding this way to a
"stupid question" as much as to the assertion that the OfficeX programmers
hadn't done a good job or provided necessary functionality. They HAVE
provided it and David simply had not taken the time to discover it.
On the related issue of scripts (especially wrt Erage): the design team has
included extensive AS support, not to avoid adding features to the program,
but to allow the most amount of user customization as possible (one of
Apple's big selling points of AS). Paul has worked very hard (for FREE) to
bring this to thousands. Personally, I think he should at least move it from
freeware to "pintware" ;-)
