I have never made scripts before and I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong category. I have tried to find out by searching Google as well as this forum how to solve my problem – with out luck. I hope you can lead me in the right direction.
 
Is it possible to make a small script that will copy whatever text that is marked (in eg iexplorer or word) and string it with a url?
 
If the marked text in a document is “sunshine” – running the script will open the following url in a new browser window:
 
http://www.google.dk/search?hl=eng&q=sunshine
 
where “http://www.google.dk/search?hl=eng&q=” is a fixed string and “sunshine” is the variable (the marked text).
 
 
I have fount this script which will give me a browser with a url – is it possible to ‘feed’ the script with whatever text is marked (by using the clipboard maybe)
 
hope you can help me

objExplorer.Navigate "www.google.com" 
objExplorer.ToolBar = 1
objExplorer.StatusBar = 1
objExplorer.Width=1024
objExplorer.Height = 768
objExplorer.Left = 0
objExplorer.Top = 0
objExplorer.Visible = 1
