ActiveWords and Sharepoint....
I recently had the very excellent good fortune to be invited to an event at Mindjet in San Francisco, and will blog more about that later. One of the very best parts of the Mindjet event was meeting some great people. Mindjet had invited nine of us in to talk about their product, the next release, their advertising, blogging and and website, and their next release.
In the course of the event, I ended up sitting next to Charlie Bess of EDS. Charlie is mid-western guy, with a great title at EDS, and gets stuff! Needless to say, I pitched Charlie on ActiveWords, and the result is pretty interesting. Charlie writes a blog, called EDS' Next Big Thing Blog …. Charlie wrote a great blog post about our meeting, and what he did with ActiveWords.
I wrote him back and asked him to share with me the steps that he had gone through, so that anyone reading this and using Sharepoint could benefit from his work. And here’s what he wrote…
“here’s what I was doing:
<"https://knowledgecentre.xxx.com/personal/yyy/Shared%20Documents/TechnologistsReference.aspx">
Get to SharePoint site where I have admin privileges.
<Wait for window:Title=Web Part Page>
Wait for the screen to come up
<TAB:12>
Tab to the command arrow for the SharePoint webpart I want to modify
<DOWN:3>
traverse the pull down menu until I am at the location where I can modify the shared webpart
<ENTER>
hit enter to pull up the modification tool
<delay:2000>
since editing tool is on the same screen I just need to wait until I’ve given it enough time to be ready
<TAB:4>
Tab down to the Rich Text Editor button
<ENTER>
click on the button
<Wait for window:Title=Rich Text Editor>
wait for the screen to appear
I used to maximize the window as well but found that SharePoint has a bug that makes the Save button disappear when the window is maximized.”
