Hi Bill & Shane
Thank you both for the quick response. Bill your example on positioning grouped elements looks great but I have not had time to work with it yet. Shane, the show command does work but I need a day or two to play around with it. In my first tests it does bring the destination document forward but does not make it the active document. I think there may be a different problem, besides realizing that I truly do not understand object reference in Quark.
To make things simple I started with a new script for a test.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
make new document at beginning
open file path_to_esixting_file
duplicate generic boxes of page 1 of document 1 to end of page 1 of document 2
end tell
Running the above script generates the error "Can't make or move that element into that container." Since I will have many documents opening and closing, keeping the destination document in the background and duplicating the contents from one to the other sounds cleaner but I am missing something. Any further assistance would be appreciated.
Does anyone know of a good Quark scripting reference? Documentation provided by Quark, is limited. Thanks again! :)
