Hi,
Thanks for this. In case this explanation changes your answer, let me know.
The script will do the following. I may miss some steps, but you get the idea,
I'm sure.
Open an input box and ask me the URL to go to.
Open Firefox.
It could possibly go directly to the URL via command line or type Alt+D, type
the address, and press Enter.
Wait for the page to load.
Type Alt+A to get to the accessibility menu for the Firefox Accessibility
Evaluator tool.
Hit right arrow.
Hit Enter.
Wait for the dialog to load.
Hit Alt+V.
Wait for the page to load.
Select all.
Copy to clipboard.
Store page title.
Open Word
Type Alt+Control+1 for heading 1 style.
Type page title, then Enter
Paste from clipboard.
Type Alt + F, then A.
Use page title plus some other words as file name.
Type Alt+S to save.
Close Word.
Close Firefox.
Jim

One of the objects of the Windows Script Host has a method for sending
keystrokes, which any COM client -- including a VBScript program -- can
access. I do not recall the object off hand, but a Google for
VBScript send keys
will probably find it. With that said, I think AutoIt has more features
for automating GUIs. If scripting Firefox is of particular interest, I
think the best solution at present is the Watir gem for Ruby, which the
InRB interpreter incorporates
http://EmpowermentZone.com/InRb.zip
Of course, one can also use it with the standard Ruby interpreter.
Firefox is not easily scriptable with AutoIt because it does not use
standard controls (they are custom Mozilla controls).
