NoteTo open a saved script applet or droplet for editing, drag it onto the Script Editor app or choose File Open in Script Editor.To convert a previously saved script or script bundle to an applet, choose File Duplicate, press Shift-Command-S, or choose File Export. Then, perform the steps above.If an AppleScript applet contains an open event handler, or a JavaScript applet contains an openDocuments function, it automatically becomes a drag and drop application known as a droplet. Drag files and folders onto the droplet to process them, or double-click the droplet to run it.

To learn about creating droplets, see.Protecting a Script’s Source CodeIf you plan to distribute your script, you may wish to protect is source code. This is done by exporting the script in run-only format. ImportantWhen saving a script in run-only format, make sure you retain a backup of your editable script.Code Signing a ScriptBy default, the security settings in OS X only allow the launching of apps (including applets and droplets) that have been created by you, downloaded from the Mac App Store, or created by developers identified by Apple. If you plan to distribute your scripts to others, you should consider code signing your scripts with an Apple developer ID.You obtain a Developer ID certificate from in your developer account and import it on your Mac. For detailed information about obtaining and importing a certificate, see Maintaining Your Signing Identities and Certificates in App Distribution Guide.

Version: 2008I don't know if this is even possible. I have an existing VBA macro I use on Word for Windows and I need to get the equivalent functionality running on Word 2008 for Mac. This code needs to show/hide logos in the headers and will be used when the author decides to print onto letterhead or not.The basic task breakdown is:1. Toggle the value of an existing boolean custom document property2. BTW, I originally meant to be more careful not to give the impressionthat there's anything wrong with Applescript in itself.The problem is primarily in the difference in approach betweenapplescript and VBA and the resulting differences between theapplescript dictionary for Word and the object model that VBA works with.Other than that, applescript is certainly 'different' but learning it islike learning any other language, and I have found that even a smallamount of time spent learning its basics has paid dividends.Peter JamiesonJohn McGhie24.02.10 17:56. Oh, Microsoft knew the impact of the VBA loss very well, long before theymade the decision to remove VBA from Office 2008.This was one of those 'Faster, Cheaper, Better, Sooner: pick any three!' Every software project is.

Applescript to batch convert.doc to.docx. Trojan virus. I'm trying to write an automator workflow to get this done but I'm struggling. I found this guy in the archives of this sub but the OP didn't post the workflow, so the applescript posted there isn't of. It's impossible. You can do similar actions in applescript, but there is no way to convert an existing automator script to applescript.

For any software project, you choosehow much of each of those four things you can bake into the recipe.With any large and complex piece of software, the software company does nothave complete control over any of those four things. Generally, thecustomers will tell you what the maximum price can be, Sales will tell youhow much 'Better' they need, and Marketing will tell you what date 'Sooner'is. 'Faster' can always be had at the expense of one of the others: in thiscase, a performance improvement of about 50% was possible if they removedsupport for the Power PC.I was among the customers Microsoft discussed the impact of this decisionwith before they made it.

They knew, very clearly, what the impact wouldbe. They made the best decision they could under the circumstances.Office 2008 has been the best-selling version of Mac Office ever, so I guessthe people have voted and the result shows that Microsoft got the decisionright.Personally, I derive a large part of my income from VBA customisation inWord, so you can imagine the impact this had on my business. But the otheralternatives were even more unpalatable.CheersOn 23/02/10 9:13 PM, in article 59bb3378.2@webcrossing.JaKIaxP2ac0,' wrote:This email is my business email - Please do not email me about forummatters unless you intend to pay!-John McGhie, Microsoft MVP (Word, Mac Word); Consultant Technical Writer,McGhie Information Engineering Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia.Ph: +61 (0)4 1209 1410; mailto.
