Word 2008 Script

hi, i have a script that i wrote a few years ago that takes
information from a filemaker database and inserts it into a word
document. this script was written before Word had any kind of
redeeming applescipt dictionary and included VBA.

bascially, the portions of the script that take the info out of
filemaker are still in tact. what im having trouble with is replacing
the 'do visual basic' commands with applescript.

i was skimming the new Word library but cant make sense of it.

any help is appreciated.

thanks,

G.Miller

I ran into a similar issue when I purchased a Mac Mini and installed
Office 2008. I had written a significant amount of Excel VBA stuff a
few years ago and was taken by surprise when there was no VBA in the
product.

I used the information on this site as a guide and was able to slog my
way through easily enough.
