Where to find what commands/properties are available for AppleScript in Microsoft Outlook 2011

Question

Does anyone know where I can find a list of available applescript commands/properties for Microsoft Outlook 2011?

I am trying to copy subject of the opened message into the clipboard and save the message as PDF to my desktop with subject as the file name.

Thanks.

All applications that are apple-scriptable have a "dictionary" of terms as part of the application itself. To access a dictionary open AppleScript Editor, under the File menu choose "open dictionary", and then choose the application.

A second way would be to drag/drop the application onto the AppleScript Editor icon in the dock or applications folder.

A third way... under the Window menu in AppleScript Editor choose "Library". That window is a quick-access tool to access the dictionaries of various applications. You can click the "+" button to add applications not in that list. Double-click an application in the list to access its dictionary.

A 4th way... if AppleScript Editor and the application you are interested in are both in the dock, you can command-drag the application's dock icon onto the AppleScript Editor's dock icon.
