I wanted to use the runapp action in a macro with the command line to open a
specific word document. Basically, I created a macro and selected the action
"runapp" with the command line giving the path of "J:\Anita.doc", but this
didn't work. How do I open a specific word document with a macro?

Aniwil,

Try it with the Word application specified, e.g....
"C:\Program Files\PathToWord\Winword.exe" "J:\Anita.doc"
(you'll have to look up what PathToWord is on your computer)
