Thanks, @joedf!

G. Mayor has VBA code to do this here. The animation should show what it does. I'm going to post two versions of this, since ComObjActive() only works _sometimes_ for me. One version uses it, and it often works. But sometimes something goes haywire. For that reason the second version uses flyingDman...

@tranht17, thanks very much for this. Works great, easy to modify.

Datapoint , thanks for the update. It prompted me to update my own code so it'll work with the v2.0.10 that I have installed, at least with Word 2021 (desktop version). All instances of [A_Index] were changed to (A_Index), and the newish requirement for ".Item" has been incorporated, as in your lin...

@iseahound, thanks very much for this. Bound to come in handy.

Frosti , the last time I tried this framework was in December 2020 - since then the name has changed to Supervity, and my free account looks totally unfamiliar and is now totally non-functional, so I can't answer your question about which approach is better. Obviously ChatGPT post-dates the version...

Spitzi , sorry, I didn't realize that. Perhaps this (with your code in the 'else' block)? #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 !^r:: { if (!WinActive("ahk_class OpusApp")) { Send("{LControl down}{RAlt down}{space}{LControl up}{RAlt up}") } else { ; Do other things here ; MsgBox("Word running, can't send it.")...

Spitzi , maybe there's something else going on. I just tried this code with Word 2021 (desktop version), AHK v2.05, and it works for me. It requires that Word be running, as you can see. The text in the document is read aloud. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 if WinExist("ahk_class OpusApp") { WinActivate...

:bravo: jinok , I really the "Symbol table" script. For my own use I've added 3 extra rows, filled with various European letters and symbols that are not present on my US keyboard. I took out the width and height args for MyGui so the GUI will autosize, so far so good. I have it start out always on ...

No, I didn't do anything like that when installing. It varies from machine to machine. Works on some, not on others. I install the same way everywhere.

Maybe check if the CLSID stored in the registry key for Word.Application matches the one store for the version of Word you are using. ; On my machine, Office 365, these two registry keys contain the CLSID below ; Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Application\CLSID ; Computer\HKEY_LO...

@Datapoint, no, unfortunately. It happens regardless of switching windows, delay before calling, et cetera.

@Datapoint, that's the same on my machine, so I'll give it a try.
Edit: Still get the "Operation unavailable", which happens for me on some machines and not on others, and definitely does on my home desktop.

@Datapoint, thank you, I'll give it a try.
Edit: Works great! Posted a copy here.

@flyingDman, your version works fine and is much shorter than what I have. Both work for me, Win10 Pro latest, Office 2021.
Thank you!

You might try this case you have trouble with ComObjActive() and Office apps on your machine (in may case, ComObjActive works with Word on my laptop with Office 2016, but not on my desktop with Office 2021. This works on the latter). This is totally based on AHK_user 's post here. Thanks to sean , j...

Here's Word_Get.ahk for v2, thanks to AHK_user for the function to modify, and to Sean, Jethrow and Learning one! ; Modified from AHK_user's Excel_Get code here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=107319&hilit=excel_get ; Uncomment to test /* #Requires AutoHotKey v2.0 #SingleInst...

@boiler, I'll revisit this if I can ever figure it out. I'll try to port Word_Get to v2 (might take a while) and see if I can use that instead. Not sure that would help you either if COM isn't working at all, for whatever reason.

I tried the ComObjActive script on an old laptop running Win10, but with Office 2016 instead of Office 2021. It works fine.
Now to find out whether it's the machine I have 2021 on that's the culprit, or the Office version on that machine.
Thanks to all for your feedback!

@kczx3, that's a good point. I hadn't considered it - I'll give it a try.
EDIT: Apparently it doesn't make any difference whether I run as Admin or with UI access. I still get the same error(s).
