You will need to do one of two things:
1. Include the name of the app to launch the document with (including
full path)
launch "textfile.doc" with "C:/Program Files/Microsoft/Word.exe" (or
whatever)
OR
2. Use the system scripting language (shell command) or in the case
of OS X AppleScript as an alternative, to do this outside the app.
There's no way for Rev to open a Word doc itself without launching Word.

Dear RunRev programmers
I have the need to open a word file from the app. I have the word
file on my same path as my rev app. but using the suggested command
it do not work, any reason why?
This is the programming line I'm using:
on mouseUp
launch "textfile.doc"
end mouseUp
the textfile.doc will not open from within the app.
Anyone know why?
