Hello

When I used Spell Catcher for OS9 I was able to go directly to my shortcuts file by clicking Apple+Opt+G, but I don't seem to be able to do that in OSX.

I have tried recording a shortcut using AppleScript to open my latest shortcut file, but unfortunately AppleScript under OSX does not seem to be scriptable...

Not knowing AppleScript well enough to type in a useful script, does anyone else have a script I could use to open a specific Spell Catcher file? As far as I can recall these files are part of the Spell Catcher package and therefore Spell Catcher would have to do the opening (after Finder has opened Spell Catcher)

Thanks for any help

PS If there is a way opening the shortcuts directly with Spell Catcher X, then can someone please enlighten me how. Thanks

These are just regular, plain ordinary, Mac OS document files. They reside in your home /Library/Application Support/Spell Catcher/References directory. You CAN put them anywhere you'd like.

Spell Catcher has numerous ways to reveal a document in the Finder (from Preferences:Spelling References, from Find in References).

So any utility that may exist that can open finder documents can do this for you. You can put them in the Dock, put aliases to them on the desktop, put them in your Favorites folder, get to them from Recent Items, probably about a zillion different ways.

See Pierre Igot's article for more information on the kind of thing he does. See the very last picture at the bottom of the document.

Thank you very much for this reply. I should have rechecked the file location before I sent my earlier email, and I apologise for taking up your time.

Kind regards
