Hi Ken,
Would something like this work for you?
-----------------
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell document 1
make picture box at beginning with properties
{bounds:{"0.0\"", "0.0\"", "0.5\"", "1.0\""}}
select picture box 1
set tool mode to drag mode
end tell
select menu "Edit"'s menu item "cut"
tell document 1
set tool mode to contents mode
repeat with i from 1 to count of paragraphs
repeat with stkNumberToCheck in {"256875", "184351",
"218205"}
if paragraph i of story 1 contains (stkNumberToCheck as
string) then
set selection to insertion point before character 1 of
paragraph i of story 1
paste
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end tell
-------------------------
Hope it helps.
Jay
