Executing Commands in an Application

 

DDEEXECUTE carries out commands in another application. For example, to cause Excel to sound a beep:

 

ddeexecute(chan, "[beep()]")

 

To insert text at the current cursor position of a Word document, try:

 

ddeexecute(winchan, '[Insert "This is a DDE string"]')

 

Refer to the macro or language reference of your particular application for specific details on the available commands.
