Wordservice does work under Snow Leopard! - nturrill

I take all back, because all third-party services are disabled in Snow Leopard by default. After this service is enabled in the Keyboard system preference, Keyboard Shortcuts panel, Services item, then it works very well on selected text in applications like TextEdit. MS Word 2008 still does not support Services. :-(

Wordservice does work under Snow Leopard! - Mollys Mum

Help--can someone walk me through this? When I go to the Keyboard system preference, Keyboard Shortcuts panel, Services item, I can't locate WordService anywhere to enable it. It appears in my Finder in the Services folder of my HD Library, where I first installed it. I need to sort a list in a document in Scrivener (or Text Edit)--a simple task that I had no problem doing before Snow Leopard. It's driving me crazy, but I'm sure I'm missing something very simple. Thanks for any help.

Yes, I am having the same experience. I shall contact DevonTechnologies to see if there will be an OSX 10.6 upgrade. I'd gladly pay for this very useful software.

yes, I have the same problem. Did a clean install of Snow Leopard for other reasons and was very disappointed to find that it doesn't work in 10.6.1
I wonder if there is an alternative?

agree with previous comment that messing with keyboard System Preferences gets it working

Using info above (which I should have read before posting) I was able to get it working. Not entirely obvious to do BTW
