Thanks for helping me with this, I made the powerpro script just like
you said and saved it in the powerpro scripts folder, then tried to
run it with a button, and I got this error message (I also changed the
path to my path for Word)
Error running command (2): File not found
?"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE"
Error occurred near line 6 which contained:
?"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE"
Press Cancel to end all running scripts.
