However, it works in kind of a "playback mode" where the interface steps get executed on the active document. This is good for one-off tasks where you want to mimic what happens in the interface. With ExtendScript/FrameScript, you work with commands that can not only work on the active document, but on invisible documents that the script opens, saves, and closes for you. This is advantageous if you have a task to perform on all of the document sin a book. I would consider AutoIT and FrameMaker scripting programs to be complementary.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Rick</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Rick Quatro</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Carmen Publishing Inc.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>585-366-4017 **NEW**</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:rick@frameexpert.com">rick@frameexpert.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> <a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a> [<a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Shmuel Wolfson<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, November 26, 2013 10:10 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com">framers@lists.frameusers.com</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: Script to convert tables to paragraphs</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>And the free editor that comes with it provides autocompletion and context-sensitive help.<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>Regards,<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Shmuel Wolfson<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>052-763-7133<o:p></o:p></pre><p class=MsoNormal>On 26-Nov-13 4:27 PM, Jim Owens wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>AutoIT is a powerful scripting language, and it comes with good documentation.
