Command-line Parameters

You can launch Atlantis Word Processor with parameters and switches in the command-line to instruct it to perform various actions.

A parameter in the command-line of Atlantis can be either a document filename that should be opened by Atlantis, or a switch (a string of characters preceded by a slash / or a hyphen –) that instructs Atlantis to perform some action.

The following table lists all the switches that can be used in the command-line of Atlantis.

You can use either long versions of switches, or their short counterparts.

Switch (Long)	Switch (Short)	Description	Sample command-line
Print	p	Atlantis opens all the documents specified in the command-line, prints them, and shuts down.	Atlantis.exe /p MyDocument.rtf
NoPrintDialog	npd	Used in combination with the p switch. Instructs Atlantis to print the document from the command-line to the default printer "silently" (without displaying any dialogs).	Atlantis.exe /p /npd MyDocument.rtf
PrintTo	pt	Atlantis prints the document from the command-line to the specified printer "silently" (without displaying any dialogs).	Atlantis.exe /pt MyDocument.rtf "hp deskjet 656c series"
DontCreateNewDoc	n	Atlantis will not automatically create a new document at startup regardless its current settings.	Atlantis.exe /n
Restored	r	The window of Atlantis will be initially in "non-maximized" ("restored") state regardless the recent state of this window.	Atlantis.exe -r

FullScreen	fs	The Full Screen mode will be initially toggled ON.	Atlantis.exe -fs
DontLoadSettings	dls	Atlantis will not attempt to retrieve settings either from the registry or an INI file. The default built-in settings will be used.	Atlantis.exe -dls (use this command-line to restore the original settings).
LoadSettingsFromIni	lsi	Atlantis will attempt to retrieve settings from My Documents\Atlantis\Atlantis.ini file.	Atlantis.exe -lsi
LoadSettingsFromReg	lsr	Atlantis will retrieve settings from the Registry (the Atlantis.ini file is ignored even if you launch Atlantis from a memory flash drive).	Atlantis.exe -lsr
DontSaveSettings	dss	Atlantis does not save settings on close.	Atlantis.exe -dss
SaveSettingsToIni	ssi	Atlantis saves settings to the My Documents\Atlantis\Atlantis.ini file.	Atlantis.exe -ssi
SaveSettingsToReg	ssr	Atlantis saves settings to the Registry.	Atlantis.exe -ssr
SettingsFileName	sfn	Instructs Atlantis to use a specified INI file (the name of this INI file should immediately follow this switch). Should be used in combination with the lsi switch.	Atlantis.exe /lsi /ssi /sfn "D:\My Settings.ini" (Atlantis will both read and write settings from/to the "D:\My Settings.ini" file)

Note. Do not forget that all filenames in the command-line that contain spaces, should be enclosed within the double quotes.
For example, if you wish to instruct Atlantis to open document My Document.rtf, you should use the following command-line:

Atlantis.exe "My Document.rtf"
