color property of a shape or a font object

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC

hello,
I use applescript to change the color property, it looks like
"set fore color of line format of myshape to {100,0,0} as RGB color"
and worked ok in Word 2004 but fails in 2007. Although 2007 dictionary shows no difference to 2004's as for this property in Word model.
The same applies to the color of font...
What might be wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Serguei

No idea - it works fine for me in Word 2008 (not WinWord 2007).

Do you get any error messages? Are you sure you're defining "myshape"
properly?

Note that you've posted your message in a Macintosh Excel newsgroup.

since i'm an applescript newbie I'd appreciate if you post a sample code that works for color property on both excels (2004 and 2007).
