Fileopen difficulty

[ajit]

Hi

I have been trying to write a script to open a test.dot file as a new document (document1 - Microsoft Word) as it opens on double clicking the test.dot file.

I tried Fileopen without any success. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanking in anticipation

Use ShellExecute (execute file with appropried application)

ShellExecute("file.dot")

ShellExecute("file.dot")

Thanks very much for your prompt reply

I tried ShellExecute but still the file would not open as Document1; It still opens as test.dot whereas i want it to open as Document1 without the name "test" as it would open on double clicking it.

Thanks again

Haa...Ive just understand

Check for hotkeys and check for classlist of your word window

Here for new document its CTRL+N in example

ShellExecute("file.dot")
WinActivate("[CLASS:OpusApp]","")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:OpusApp]","",3)
Send("^n")

Actually, test.dot file opens as Document1 - Microsoft Word on double clicking it whereas when i use right click menu >> Open it opens as test.dot.

right click menu >> New opens it as Document1 - Microsoft Word, the way i want, but i dont know how to make a script for that.

Have i missed something??

Thanks again

Thanks very much for your replies.

Sending ^n opens a new document altogether (with no text as in original template) making it useless as a template.

Double clicking it opens the file as Document1 - Microsoft Word whereas opening from the context menu >> Open opens it as test.dot - Microsoft Word (not what i want), though there is also an option in context menu >> New, which is what i want.

Thanks again
