Hi,
I have sent this post to the other director list DIRECT-L but I
thought it would be more appropriate to send it to this list.
Sorry for those of you that have already read it.
***
Has anyone ever tried to automate MS Word from a Director script ?
In other words, can we create a Word object in Lingo and then invoke a method from
this object to open a Word document to execute a Word Macro command ?
Basically, I need to create something similar to this in Lingo:
1) create a Word object
2) Specify a path to a word document
3) Open a document
4) Execute a macro command
(this is a VBScript handler hosted inside an HyperText Application
that does exactly what I would like to do with Lingo)
<html><head>
<title>Word automation from VBScript</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION ID = "Word2themax"
APPLICATIONNAME = "Word2themax">
<script language="VBScript">
Sub InvokeMacro()
Dim oWord
'oWord represents the MS Word application
Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
with oWord
.Visible = True
.ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\"
.Documents.Open "Doc1.doc"
.Run "Project.VBAModule.myMacro"
end with
end Sub
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="lightsteelblue">
<form>
<input type="button"
onClick="InvokeMacro()"
value="Invoke a Word macro command">
<input type="button"
onClick="self.close()"
value="Quit">
</form>
</body></html>
Can we do this on both platforms PC/MAC with Director ?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
