Copying the story will copy all the text from the box down to the
chain of linked boxes. Similarly copying the box to a new document
will also copy the text flowing into to subsequent boxes.
The point is to use duplicate rather than copy -- you can change the targets
to what you want. For example:
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
tell document 1
duplicate text of text box 1 to after character -1 of text box 2
end tell
end tell
ah, I now see what the problem was, this construct fails with Quark
Passport 5 (that I was using for the test). The box ends up having
the overflow tick box set and the duplicated text is not visible,
even getting the text box's text reveals that the text has not been
transferred properly. The version of Passport 5 I am using is still
beta, I do not know if it has gone final yet, but someone might try
with Quark 5.
Thanks again for your help, I will now only use 4.1, in which the
duplicate construct you suggested works wonderfully.
