Force Microsoft Office to open URL

[kban]

Hi all

I need to have a script to simulate Microsoft's Word "File->Open URL" command and paste my file's URL there.

I need to open my file from server, without downloading, using WebDav.

 

I've tried to use following script:

 

tell application "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Word"

open file

"https://www.myserver.com/webdav/MyDoc.doc"

end tell

 

but i got error: 

"execution error: Microsoft Word got an error: file doesn’t understand the open message. (-1708)"

 

Thank you for any help.

Does that applescript command work for you if you run it using AppleScript Editor?
