Monica,

what version of QuarkXPress are you using? And what Mac OS?
I guess you're still with QXP 6.0. Update to 6.5.

Your script works for me. But you could simplify it:
---
tell application "QuarkXPress 6.5"
  make document with properties {page height:doch, page width:docw}
end tell

Hans,

Thank You very much. Quark 6.5 worked great. Our script ran the 1st time
correctly. Problem Solved.
