Thanks Thorsten, On more question. The following errors if there are no margins. The Dictionary was no help here. tell application "System Events" tell window 1 # Remove margins, if any if margins exists then keystroke "E" using {command down, option down, shift down} delay 0.2 keystroke "Y" using {command down} end if end tell # window 1 end tell # System Events > On Nov 3, 2014, at 12:47:AM, Thorsten Lemke lemke@lemkesoft.de [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > Hi Robert, > > > that was simple.
