Hi Thanks for all advices. I found a workarround to open and read the file with applescript. This is also possible from within Xcode, but very pedantically. I only have to read in some names from a list. No interest in text attributes. I offer the user to import name lists as .doc and .txt files and wanted to add also .pages files. I just wonder why there is no function in Cocoa to import such text as it is possible with MS files. Ruedi Heimlicher
