Hi,

what did you try so far? Did you search the Scripting Forum?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.. i want to load a WordRTFPreferences as a file into indesign using script.

like app.importFile(ExportPresetFormat,file)

for example the user give  wordpreferences as a xml file.. i want to load a xml file into indesign

Since this is not possible using scripting my best bet is: Inspect the xml file, extract all possible and relevant properties and values and work directly with WordRTFPreferences.

ok, is it possible to get applied word import options

What you cannot define with WordRTFPreferences is style matching. What paragraph style or character style in the Word doc should match what style in the InDesign document. And you also cannot tell directly what smp file is currently loaded as preset. You perhaps could deduce that if you look at the property/value pairs of app.wordRTFPreferences and compare all that with all available smp files.
