Hi, new to this forum.
Recently discovered how to share a location in Maps app with my Tesla to automatically start navigating. How cool is that!
Being the nerd that I am, I wrote a shortcut to select a contact and share it's address with my Tesla. That way, I don't leave the Maps app in memory to use up my battery, and don't have to go to all the trouble of swiping Maps out of memory. JK.
Anyway, when I share the shortcut-selected address with the Tesla, it says "Error this content could not be shared". To me this means the address as shared by the shortcut is not in the same format as when you share it directly from Maps.
So the question is, how can I send a properly formatted location from my shortcut?
Thanks...

I have a VBScript routine to print envelopes by automating Word. This works just fine.
Now I'm trying to do the same thing with AppleScript, also using the Word application. Here is what I have so far:
set recipientAddress to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the recipient's address:" default answer "")
-- Prompt for recipient city, state, and zip
set recipientCityStateZip to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the recipient's city, state, and zip:" default answer "")
-- Combine all address parts into a full address
set fullAddress to recipientName & return & recipientAddress & return & recipientCityStateZip
-- Create a new Word document and print the envelope
set dialogResult to display dialog "To print envelope for:" & return & return & recipientName & return & recipientAddress & return & recipientCityStateZip & return & return & "Center envelope upside-down in printer with flap on left" & return & return & "Continue?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2 with icon caution
if button returned of dialogResult is "Yes" then
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set wdDoc to make new document
-- Print the envelope with the collected recipient address and hard-coded return address
-- wdDoc's print out envelope(address:fullAddress, returnAddress:returnAddress)
-- Close the document without saving
close wdDoc saving no
end tell
end if
What does NOT work is the commented line near the end of the script which starts with -- wdDoc's print out envelope...
Either I am doing it wrong, or Word for Mac can't be automated that way. Can anyone help with this script, or at least suggest a different method to print an envelope on demand?
Thanks...
