Re: Alter Script for OSX

Hi Hans/Applescript user group,

That seems to have done the trick, thank you v much - although just after
that line is another line that is now failing with Quark error (BTW its
Quark 6.0):

"Can't set vertical of scale of image 1 of picture box "footerlogo" of
page 3 of document 1 to 31"

This is the line:

Set vertical of (scale of image 1 of picture box BoxName) to
FooterLogoScale

and there is a line after that which I suspect will also fail for the same
reason which is:

Set horizontal of (scale of image 1 of picture box BoxName) to
FooterLogoScale

Any ideas? Thanks again

Best regards,

Simon,

are you using QuarkXPress 6.1? Insert 'as alias' and try again:
---
set image 1 of picture box BoxName to LogoPath as alias
---

I haven't taken the time to try your script. But starting with
QXP 5 an alias is required.
