I'd like to insert a macrobutton field into a word document using only
AppleScript... no VBA. Is it possible?
One way (though I'm no expert - there may be much better ways):
set field_code to " MACROBUTTON MacroName \"display text\" "
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set myRange to collapse range text object ¬
of selection direction collapse start
set content of myRange to field_code
set myRange to move end of range myRange ¬
by a character item count (length of field_code)
set myField to make new field at myRange ¬
with properties {field code:myRange}
set content of myRange to ""
end tell
