Thanks so much...I am using the Microsoft dictionary but it is failing when it hits anything that says "as rich text". Is this a variable term by application or is this standard Applescript terminology? It would seem standard but it throws an error of "Expected class name but found identifier."
I tried to do some legwork and research this error but the must be fairly common as I'm not finding this exact situation.
Appreciate your help and, once adjusted, will post the code back to this site for others to use.
thanks
