function reference for macro programming language
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:07:18 UTC
I am trying to write macro's for Text; I already have quite a library for Microsoft Word, and they would form a very practical addition to the 4 odd macro's currently available on your site. My problem is that I can't get beyond the simple character counting and substitution shown in your examples. I can't even figure out the function (presumably on the selection object) to change the color of selected text. I have tried all the logical possibilities: VBA, Lotus Script, and names like the sequence of menu selections to manually make such a change (Format, Character, Font color), but all I get is the diagnostic "property or method not found. Somewhere there must be at least a listing of the available function prototypes.
Peter, thanks for your comments. Please post this question to the API or users mailing list.
