Hi,
Hi
I am looking for resources for Quark Xpress 6.
They say it's scritpable.
They're right
I know Quark 3.3r 5 was,
you're right ;-)
4 was less
you're wrong! qxp 4.11 was fully scriptable and working
I remember trying to name a box in Xpress 4, and it didn't work, the
"name" wasn't in the dictionary. Perhaps they add it later.
and 6, they say it's back again, but the given scripts don't work very well.
which ones? could you be more detailed?
And here again, a problem with names. I can name a box, but when
using the script "Place name", it places only the name of the image
file, but not of the image box as described.
Is there a "missing manual" somewhere for Xpress 6 ?
nada de nada! the only manual is the one you can find inside the
documentation folder in the install folder... yes, this manual has a
lot of mistakes inside...
that's already something ;-) thank's, I'll look at it
BTW, QXP6 scripting is quite similar to QXP5 scripting and Shirley
Hopkins's "AppleScripting QuarkXPress" could be your bible:
http://www.amazon.com:80/exec/obidos/ASIN/0970726503/emerasmakerso-20?creative=125581&camp=2321&link_code=as1
thank's, I knew the book, but didn't know about the difference
between QXP5 and 6 scritping.
Last thing: there is a lot of work to do for Quark to fix bugs on
this version...
I've just seen on a forum that Quark XP 6.1 is very bugy, more than
6.0 ? I just find QXP 6 slow, not reactive, compared to 4.1 on OS 9.
But this is out of topic...
Regards
Michel Raj
