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

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 Atlantis.ini file (this file must be available in the home directory of Atlantis). 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 Atlantis.ini file in the home directory on close. Atlantis.exe -ssi

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 "My Settings.ini"
(Atlantis will both read and write settings from/to the My Settings.ini)

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"
