I would rethink the file you are dumping into. I would make it a one page file, with the master page linked to make additional pages as needed. To do this, just go to the master page and create a link from the chain icon in the upper left corner of the page to the text box. Then just make the following addition to the script:
on nameLocation(i, theFullName, theLocation)
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
--activate
tell document 1
tell spread -1 --Last spread of document
-- \|/ \|/ this is where the problem comes up.
tell text box 1--
set text of last paragraph to theFullName & return
set text of last paragraph to theLocation & " " & return
--" " this is a soft return (although it doesn't look like one here)
end tell
-- /|\ /|\ I'm stuck!
end tell --Close it off
end tell
end tell
end nameLocation
I have make this kind of thing many times before and this has worked.
