Hi Hans/Applescript user group,
That seems to have done the trick, thank you v much - although just after
that line is another line that is now failing with Quark error (BTW its
Quark 6.0):
"Can't set vertical of scale of image 1 of picture box "footerlogo" of
page 3 of document 1 to 31"
This is the line:
Set vertical of (scale of image 1 of picture box BoxName) to
FooterLogoScale
and there is a line after that which I suspect will also fail for the same
reason which is:
Set horizontal of (scale of image 1 of picture box BoxName) to
FooterLogoScale
Any ideas? Thanks again
Best regards,

Simon,
are you using QuarkXPress 6.1? Insert 'as alias' and try again:
---
set image 1 of picture box BoxName to LogoPath as alias
---
I haven't taken the time to try your script. But starting with
QXP 5 an alias is required.
