On a related note.

I have a Quark document with 4 boxes on it. I want to group the first 2
boxes then the last 2 boxes. When I run the script below, it only groups
the first 2. notice where the "activate" is.

tell application "QuarkXPress(tm)"
tell document 1
set tool mode to drag mode
select generic box 1
select generic box 2
end tell
activate--notice where this is
select menu item "Group" of menu "Item"
set selection to null
tell document 1
select generic box 3
select generic box 4
end tell
select menu item "Group" of menu "Item"
end tell

If I move the "activate" command right before the 2nd "Select menu...",
it groups the last 2 boxes, but obviously doesn't group the first 2. If
I put the "activate" right after the "Tell App..." it doesn't group
either. I am using a G3 PB 500, Quark 4.1, and OS 9.2.

Any suggestions??


Jeff
