Hi Simon,
what do you mean by "in one style sheet"? Do you want to get each
different style run within a text box?
Be aware that a "paragraph" itself contains a "text". If you just use
the paragraph as a string, then the delimiting characters at the end
are lost. If you want the full text, including the final delimiter
(i.e. the full stop or CR) then ask for "text of paragraph".
You can retrieve the full text of a text box by simply saying "text
of text box".
HTH,
Helmut
P.S. If you've got LNS' Script Debugger around, you could use its
"tell target" feature to get a better understanding of how
QuarkXPress organizes it's data. It surely helped me. And it looks a
lot less illogical then.

I am trying to make a script loop through text boxes (about 100) and at each
box take all the text in one style sheet and pop it into a FileMaker field.
The looping and FileMaker stuff work OK but getting every paragraph in the
named style sheet results in just the last paragraph in that style sheet
being grabbed and then the last character, usually a full stop but not
always, being lost.
