Question on AppleScript w/ QuarkXPress 4

Hi list,

I am trying to get a script to work with XPress 4.11

The problem is that the line

     set thePictures to uniqueID of every picture box of page 1

returns incorrect lists, for example:

{-2.147483645E+9, -2.147483644E+9, -2.147483642E+9, -2.147483641E+9, -2.14748364E+9, -2.147483638E+9, -2.147483636E+9, -2.147483632E+9, -2.147483631E+9, -2.14748363E+9, -2.147483629E+9, -2.147483628E+9}

If I then try to do something like

	set thePictPath to get file path of image 1 of picture box id theID

Then I get an error, unsurprisingly.

This is when I use existing documents (I don't know which version of XPress was used to create them).

If I create a new document then everything is fine.

Any ideas , has anyone come across that one before ?

Thans very much

Laurent
