I wrote a line in for Quark 5 using "width of paragraph " which worked fine.
Then, I was told a branch office of our company wanted to use the program
for jobs in Quark 4.11. It would work for a few pages, and then start
returning the value of "width of paragraph " as 0. Below is a small
section of the program. The longer program calculates the x,y coordinates
for the beginning and end of the paragraph so I can draw a box over it. I
plan on using the coordinates to draw a link box in Adobe Acrobat. Can you
tell me why it works in Quark 5, but stops working after a few pages in
Quark 4.11?
tell application "QuarkXPress(tm) 4.11"
tell document 1
set the vertical measure to points
set the horizontal measure to points
set allDocPgs to 3
set TxBx to 1
set Para to 2
set horizontalLength to the width of paragraph Para of text
box TxBx of page allDocPgs
end tell
end tell
