    This is likely a newbie question, but you gotta start somewhere.

    - How does automator work?
    - How do I run an automator script? I downloaded one that I thought would be useful, but I don't know how to run it.


    Thanks.

    Here's another noob request; can someone explain to me as though I'm a 4 yr old what automator is and what it's used for? :eek:

    Thanks. I never thought to check Wikipedia. The articles on it online are a little confusing for a new mac user.

    At the risk of sounding very stupid, I tried that before I asked the question. It didn't help much. I guess I need a real dumbed down explanation.

    I'm still not sure how to use an automator script? :eek:
