Jens--

You can't get InDesign to interpret tagged text without going through the tagged text import filter--so you have to write a file to disk and then import it.

(Note that you *could* write RTF to the clipboard and then paste the RTF, but I find RTF much more difficult to write than tagged text--and it doesn't cover all of InDesign's typesetting features.)

Make sure that you turn off the "Show problem tags before place" option in the Tagged Text Import dialog box--otherwise, your script will fail when the filter finds a problem with your tagged text. (This dialog box doesn't respond to the UserInteractionLevel setting, so you have to turn it off manually.)

Thanks,

Ole
