An QuarkXPressAppleScripter asked about grouping object in QuarkXPress, and
got this reply:
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell document 1
set tool mode to drag mode
tell page 1
set selected of every generic box to true
set objRef to object reference of every generic box whose
selected is true
end tell
end tell
set selection to item 1 of objRef
end tell
Which worked well (and new to me), but theres another solution which allows
for ungrouping objects too:
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell document 1 to set tool mode to drag mode
select menu item "Select All" of menu "Edit"
do updates
select menu item "Ungroup" of menu "Item"
end tell
To ungroup things, edit the select menu item "Ungroup" line.
The select menu does seem underused by QuarkXPressAppleScripters...
