Well, below's a way to get the value from a cell, and you can call the
handler for as many cells as you need.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

tell front document of application "OmniOutliner"
    my getCellValue(first row, "Topic")
end tell

on getCellValue(x, y)
    tell application "OmniOutliner"
        repeat with i in (get cells of x)
            if i's column's title is y then
                set n to i's value
                try
                    n
                on error
                    return i's text
                end try
                return n
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end getCellValue
