Script Error

Post by pgseye »

I've been getting errors when trying to scan/unscan documents using Word 2011 (see attached screengrab). It seems to be OK when I then try with Word 2008.

Thanks

I assume you're using Bookends 10, whose scripts don't work with Word 2011. Either upgrade to Bookends 11, or download the Bookends 11 demo and replace the old scripts with the new ones (in the Word scripts folder). The new scripts are compatible with both Word 2008 and 2011, and should work with Bookends 10.

Thanks Jon.

No, I'm using 11.1.1.

I've got the 5 scripts in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items/.

I tried again and I noticed that the script actually seems to complete (ie I just did an unscan and it did restore the citations), but I'm still getting the error message.

No great dramas I suppose - I can always revert back to 2008 if I have to.

Hm, maybe the old scripts weren't replaced for some reason. Please remove them and replace them with the ones in

~/Library/Application Support/Bookends/Add-ins for MS Word/

Hmm,

Looks like they were old script files. I replaced them and I don't get the error now.

Thanks
