script to copy and paste first page of google doc Topic is solved

[vbanait]

I want to copy and paste *first-page* of google document for my work. The document contains many pages. I use the following code. It works well when the document consists of one page only. But using it over multipage documents leads to unnecessary duplication. How can I limit it to copy the first page only

Code: Select all

;; Copy and paste the first page of document and bring cursor to beginning of document 
::c@:: 
SendInput, ^a
Sleep 10
SendInput, ^c
Sleep 10
SendInput, {Click} 
Sleep 10
SendInput, {CTRL} {Home} 
Sleep 10
SendInput, ^v
Sleep 10
SendInput, {Click} 
Sleep 10
SendInput, {CTRL}{Home} 
Sleep 10
SendInput, {Click} 
Return

[guessing]BC you're using ^a (select all) multiple pages will get selected (aren’t Google Doc pages webpages?). Check out if there's a print option available, probably there's a "print current page" included?[/guessing]

Looks like the page number is displayed beside the scrollbar (?) what about to limit the selection of text until that page number changes/appears?
