Can anyone help with finding the containing text box of a character?
This shows the box which contains the selection:
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
show text box 1 of selection
end tell
---
And this returns the object reference of the same box:
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set objRef to object reference of text box 1 of selection
end tell
---
And this returns the page number (if the box is sitting on
a page, else: an error message):
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set pageNumber to name of page 1 of text box 1 of selection
end tell
---
Note the "1" in 'text box 1' and 'page 1'. This works, even
if the selection is, e.g., in text box 4 on page 3.
