WD6X: AppleScript "Run" and "Activate" Produce Different Results

SUMMARY

The AppleScript commands Activate and Run both activate the Word 6.0 application. However, you will get different end results, depending on which command you use.

Both commands activate Word 6.0 when used in an AppleScript script. The Run command activates the application and opens a blank document. The Activate command only activates the application but does not open a blank document.
