Here's one example of how I've done it if it helps:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell story 1 of current box
copy (ASCII character 13) to (every text where it is (ASCII
character 7)) -- line break to paragraph break
copy (ASCII character 32) to (every text where it is (ASCII
character 16)) -- shift-space to normal space
copy (ASCII character 32) to (every text where it is (ASCII
character 202)) -- option-space to normal space
end tell
end tell
