I have a Quark 4.11 document that has somehow developed a bogus undeletable H&J setting. The values in are random, it has no visible name, and the Edit and Delete buttons are disabled when it is selected. I've occasionally had something like this happen before, but have always been able to delete it with the following AppleScript, having confirmed with the commented-out return line that it is the last H&J in the list:
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.1"
tell document 1
set HandJs to object reference of h and j specs
coerce HandJs to list
--return HandJs
delete item -1 of HandJs
end tell
end tell
However, this time, the script generates an error saying it can't modify a read-only property. Selecting it doesn't cause a crash, and I hate to have to rebuild the document with a thumbnail drag (or worse) because of the numerous master pages and the carefully customized document settings. I've also tried opening the document into newer versions of Quark, but the situation is the same. Can anyone offer a solution to get rid of this? Thanks.
