Yours Truly Designer ( YTD ) is, of course, the Quark XTension which was
originally developed by Indigo Inc. ( now HP/Indigo ) which facilitated
variable data streaming to their digital printing presses. I have not
worked with Indigo or YTD for a few years now, but when I did, YTD was
not scriptable so I used Prefab Player to enact scripted commands.
Depending on which level of Mac OS you are using you may want to explore
something like that or, if you are using Mac OS X, you will want to look
into GUI Scripting as Rob mentioned below.
However, I see that your e-mail domain is hp.com. Couldn't someone in
the Indigo division help you with YTD?

Hi,
I am using the application called 'QuarkXPress' on Mac. QuarkXpress
supports apple script. I have an extension software that I use on this
quarkxpress called 'Yours Truly Designer'. Yours Truly Designer adds
as a menu item on the menu bar in QuarkXpress.
Can I use AppleScript on this menu item 'Your Truly Desinger'(YTD)
also? I do not know whether YTD supports AppleScript. How do I find
out?

Hi Nandini,
I've not heard of the particular extension, so I can't comment on
whether or not its AppleScriptable. However, if it's not directly
scriptable then I'd suggest that you investigate GUI Scripting.

Hope that's of some help.
