About the 'getting the text from TextEdit to Rev' via the clipboard, I found the same inconsistency with BBEdit as the word processor. My solution is actually to (watch word wrap) put quote into q put merge("tell app [[q]]TextEdit[[q]] to get the text of the front document") into cmd do cmd as applescript put the result into theTextIWant put char 2 to -2 of theTextIWant into theTextIWant --quote ends replace ("\"&q) with q in theTextIWant --escaped quotes Hope this helps Jim Ault Las Vegas On 9/26/06 9:26 PM, "Trevor DeVore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sep 26, 2006, at 8:14 PM, Kay C Lan wrote: > >> I wrote an Automator work flow, which is called from my rev script, >> which >> opens the pdf file in TextEdit, selects it's entire contents, >> places it in >> the clipboard and then subsequently looses it.
