New version gets:
ERROR: com.get_accessible_child: Bad input params no such children
Error occurred near line 177 of script comPluginDemoScriptAccessible:
local haoMenuItem = hAO.get_accessible_child(" Edit", "menu item")
Is it any different when you run it?
I don't recall but probably this part of the script never worked. I think you
were trying to get it to return the items in the drop down Edit menu. Most
likely the Edit item on the menubar needs to be invoked somehow before that
menu becomes accessible.

It's good enough. Remember, this is the same result VBScript gets when numbers
are sent to the Search function.

No more com errors in the script but there is now a Powerpro error, due to a
typo.

Script wasn't included in the new zip, but my previous copy now works without
error.

I reprocessed all the other scripts again, then that one, and it didn't recur.
One other issue I forgot to mention. In order to test comPluginDemoScriptGFL I
installed xnView mentioned in the docs but that was not what was required. I
needed <http://download.xnview.com/GflAxLight-win.zip> and then had to manually
copy the dll to system32 and register it. And then had to restart Powerpro,
because com continued to say it couldn't create the object until I did. I think
once it has previously failed to create an object it isn't trying again.
Feel free to include the following script with new release (starts or shows
Word's object browser -- works with Word 2003, maybe other versions -- I run it
from a button and find it useful.)
local wordapp=com.create_object("Word.Application")
wordapp.ShowVisualBasicEditor=1
win.setfocus(win.handle("=winword"))
if (not visiblewindow("References -*"))
win.sendkeys(?"{sinp}{to *}{F2}%T{enter}")
wordapp.release
com.unload
quit
