Bummer. Unfortunately I don't have the same setup as you. I have
Quark's 4,5,and 6 on an OSX box. All of my suggestions work. I have
another box here with 9.2.2 and QX 4.11.
The QX 4.1.1 won't return the properties of story 1 as is. It does
return properties of the text box. That line was just a reference to
your question how to I get and set properties. It's not needed by your
script so take it out.
You say it won't return track as a number, real, or an integer. So what
is it? What does this return:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
tell text box 1 of page 1 of document 1
set x to track of story 1
return x
end tell
end tell
Also watch your tell's and of's. If they are one "layer" off Quark
complains. If you tell a story and ask for the track of story you will
get an error.
These are quivalent:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
return track of story 1 of text box 1 of page 1 of document 1
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
tell document 1
tell page 1
tell text box 1
tell story 1
return track
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This will error:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
tell story 1 of text box 1 of page 1 of document 1
return track of story 1
end tell
end tell
