Pasting into Photoshop

Could someone please tell me why this doesn’t work;

tell application “Adobe Photoshop 7.0”
activate
make new document
paste
end tell

It tells me that paste is not defined - I’ve installed the Scripting Plugin and Paste is in the dictionary. All I’m trying to do is paste the contents of the clipboard into a new document
Thanks

What kind of information is in the clipboard? Before trying to make a script, try pasting from the clipboard manually in Photoshop, to see if the Paste command is available. If it’s grayed out, then whatever is in the clipboard can’t be pasted into Photoshop. If you can paste it manually, then the script should work also. If the script still doesn’t work, then we’ll need more details about what you’re doing.
