Hi,

following code:

…
open myDocumentPath use doc prefs no remap fonts no do auto picture import no
…

Quark opens the document with the document preferences dialog, why why why ?

any ideas ?

Your code works fine OMM (at least, the line you provided). Two things come to mind:

  1. What’s the rest of your code look like?
  2. What’s your computer’s setup? (I’m running Quark 6 on a G4/800 with OS X 10.2.8.)

Good luck.

I have the solution:

I have to do:
set myDocumentPath to “…”
set myDocumentPath to (myDocumentPath as alias)
instead of
set myDocumentPath to “…”
set myDocumentPath to alias myDocumentPath

now it works. Funny, Funny …
