AppleScript noob here. Appreciate your help and suggestions.
I need an OO4 AppleScript that will go through an outline and copy each item into its own notes field, and then truncate the item title to 32 characters.
I got as far as figuring out that I would copy the text, move it to the notes field, then copy the first 32 characters into a variable that would replace the title.
When I look at the Applescript samples available for OO4, it’s a bit beyond my pay grade. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
tell application id "OOut"
tell front document
repeat with row_i in every row
set main_text to the text of topic cell of row_i
set note_text to the text of first cell of row_i
set value of first cell of row_i to main_text
if (count of characters in main_text) > 32 then
set truncated_text to (characters 1 thru 32 of main_text) as string
set value of topic cell of row_i to truncated_text
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
