A script to resize frontmost two windows to fill screen
Authored by: Jekel on Apr 25, '10 02:03:19AM

Any Possibility to get Entourage to work with this or especially Microsoft Word?
Also, I know this is probably a huge stretch, but what about windows inside of windows, such as in excel documents.

Helpful steps that I had to figure out as a first time user:
Open AppleScript Editor in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Copy paste the above quoted code and save it as what ever you want and put it where ever you want it, just remember where.
Open Quick silver, and navigate to the triggers pane - On version B58 (i don't know what that means) but it's the newest one as of apr 25 2010, there is an arrow top right of the window that opens up if you run the quick silver application. -> Select Triggers.
Click the + in the Bottom Left corner. Select HotKeys.
Drag the script file you saved from eariler into the top box directly under the text "Select an Item"
Then hit save.
Highlight the newly created command, and press the i in the bottom right corner of the box, and then create a hotkey that does not conflict with the current default hotkeys (such as cmd c for copy).
Finally (if your script and hotkey combo aren't working) Go back to the arrow where you originally selected triggers, and select Quick Application, then restart quick silver, and your command should work!
If this doesn't work, make sure the script is correct in the first place. You can open through recent documents in apple script editor, make changes, and compile, then save, and your hot key does not need to be changed or anything.

(I May be writing this for no one now, But hopefully someone finds this helpful!) ... (took me until 5 am to figure all this stuff out on my own! Probably my own fault though, cause after i hit post, i'll probably notice there was a perfect step by step guide i just decided to gloss over.)

Hopes this helps anyways!
