Word 2008's synchronized audio recordings in Notebook Layout format are ideal for taking notes in college lectures, but what about that physics or math lecture where you want to type in a ton of Greek letters, superscripts, and subscripts, and the toolbox just won't cut it? Go to Word, open the Scripts menu, and in the About this menu... item, choose Open Folder. In that folder, create (using ScriptEditor) the following three AppleScript files. Note that the backslash (and following characters) in their names create keyboard shortcuts for each script, which you'll see in Word's Scripts menu:

Save a notebook, save a tree! :)

[robg adds: These scripts worked as described in my testing.]
