I am having problems with a script.
I want to change elements in small Quark docs containing 4 boxes.
I am scripting the boxes to chance them a little bit.
It works fine but some docs seem to have boxes created in a different
order so scripting to box 1, box 2 etc doesn't work.
I want the user to be prompted to select "caption box", then "number
box"
etc so I can capture the results and run the script on the right boxes.
I am struggling with Shirley Hopkins book and other examples but can't
find one that does this!!!
Help!!
Is there some unique feature for each box that can be tested, such as
the origin of the bounds, width of the bounds, text or image contained
in them, etc. If so then you can just test each generic box to see if
it matches the set criteria and make the modifications to it if the box
matches the test. If not, the what might be best is to just have a
script that is launched after each box is selected, you might want to
name them at this point as well so that you could automate any further
changes easier.
