Q: Keynote script

Hi all,

 

Wondering if somebody could help me.

 

I am looking for a script, to be run either as a service or from inside Keynote, that does the following:

 

for each text box in the Keynote file,

- selects all the text in the text box

- sets the ligature option to Use None

 

Thanks a million in advance,

Cheers,

D

The following GUI script seems to do what you are asking for, at least with Keynote 6.6.2 under OS X 10.11.3:

 

tell application "Keynote"

     activate

     set N1 to count the slides of document 1

end tell

 

tell application "System Events" to click menu item "First Slide" of menu 1 of menu item "Go To" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Slide" of menu bar 1 of process "Keynote"

 

repeat N1 times

     tell application "Keynote" to set N2 to count iWork items of current slide of document 1

     tell application "System Events"

           repeat N2 times

                 keystroke tab

                 click menu item "Use None" of menu 1 of menu item "Ligature" of menu 1 of menu item "Font" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Format" of menu bar 1 of process "Keynote"

           end repeat

           click menu item "Next Slide" of menu 1 of menu item "Go To" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Slide" of menu bar 1 of process "Keynote"

     end tell

end repeat

 

tell application "System Events" to click menu item "First Slide" of menu 1 of menu item "Go To" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Slide" of menu bar 1 of process "Keynote"

    Hi there,

     

    Would you have any idea how to make this work for Keynote 5, by any chance? I (need to) have both versions installed, and Keynote '09 is in Application/iWorks '09/ (as opposed to Keynote '14, which lives at the root of Applications)

     

    Thanks a million in advance,

    Cheers,
