Is this a bug? (TypeText)

run “Open Word” --Opens Microsoft Word
TypeText “Paste Text” – Type “Paste Text” in Word document

Basically, I was just trying to type that text in the Word document in Mac. But it kept on just bringing Project Gallery that has the short key of SHIFT+ COMMAND+P (or \s\ap in TypeText). So I tried TypeText “\S\APaste Text” and it work.

Is this only happening to me? ?

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that your Open Word script left the command and option keys down in the preceeding script.

You will typically always want to release those keys right after using them, they aren’t released for you. Because sometimes you need to do something like


TypeText "\a" -- Command Down
Click "this"
TypeText "\A" -- Command Up
