H'lo.
Since there's no SDK, and no VB support in word 2008, I'm evaluating
if its going to be possible for my company to support word on the mac
for our customers.
For the most part there's Mac/AppleScript alternatives that are "good
enough" -- the scripts menu instead of a toolbar, etc.
However, the big "gotcha" that I can't seem to figure out how to do in
the AppleScript environment is the ability to respond to Word saving
and/or closing a document.
On Windows, we have a plugin that detects save, and then forces Word
to save an additional copy of the content as HTML to a separate
location that we then parse/fiddle with. We then save the original
binary and the html version back to our system/database.
And on close, we do some other actions.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to tell Word 2008 to run a
certain AppleScript in response to certain user events? Notably, in
this case, 'save' and 'close'.
Thanks in advance.
