Does anyone have any ideas here? QuarkXpress 5 cannot copy a text
selection while retaining styles. QuarkXPress 4 and 3 work fine.
This works in QuarkXpress 4 but not 5. 5 says "Can't make or move
that element into that type of container."
tell front document
tell page 1
copy selection to story 1 of text box 1 of page 1
end tell
end tell
As an alternative, I tried:
set story 1 of text box 1 of page 1 to selection
but that gives an error (in Quark 5 only)
Adding an "as string" to the end works, but causes the text to lose
all styles.
Thanks for any light that can be shed on this, but I am downtroddenly
thinking there is no way around this problem. :-)
