I have been able to create a macro to do the following:
1. Copy some text from a MSWORD (MSW) document to memory.
2. Switch to Wordperfect (WP).
3. Paste the text into WP.
4. Switch (ALT-TAB) back to MSW.
5. Copy some more text to memory.
6. Paste that text into WP, too.
The problem is...the macro only works once. Thereafter, since I have to execute the macro inside QM,
QM becomes one of the 3 windows I have open. When the macro loads the MSW
document and copies the text...it then executes ALT-TAB. Since QM is the last window that was
open (because I executed the macro from QM)....then ALT-TAB brings me back to the QM window and the macro bombs...because it can't find the window (WP) to dump the text into it.
I tried adding a trigger, and told QM to make the trigger active when MSWORD is open (WINWORD.EXE), hoping to launch from within MSW. However,
the trigger doesn't work. I hit the hot key (WINDOW+[) and nothing happens. I also tried making the hot key CONTROL/ALT W. That didn't work either.
In the directions, it says you can make the macro into an EXE file. That's fine and dandy, but how do
I get that EXE file to run inside MSW so I don't have to bring up the QM window?
Is there something I'm doing wrong here, or can someone suggest a way to get done what I'm trying to
get done?
