George, I have taken out the check for zip code in your script to allow for
addresses down here (New Zealand) that don't have them. It still seems to
work. :-)
Where you have the bit -
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
try
get document 1
How could I get it to open an existing envelope template? I tried to write
- get MyEnvelope
But that didn't work. Would I have to use the whole address of the file?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
