AppleWorks macros via AppleScript??

Am a TOTAL Applescript newby but would REALLY like to reinstate the (for me essential) macro-hotkey-capability inexplicably deleted in AppleWorks 6. Otherwise I’m stuck w/ AW5 in Classic.

Can this be done?
Can you point me toward a simple tutorial?

Note: The “hotkey” QuicKeys-like ability is important…

Thanks in advance.

Rick:

Unless this functionality has been eliminated too, you can…

tell application “AppleWorks”
do script “xyz” – (the name of the macro in AW)
end tell

You’ll still have to assign a key combo ‘by whatever means necessary’ - i.e. those that the OS allows, or via a third party OSAX or app.

Good Luck.
