Hi,
I have two questions. First I am trying to import an RTF text file into
a text box in Quark Xpress, but I am getting an error. I can import the
text file through the "Get Text" menu option however it will not work
through AppleScript. The script will work with text saved as XTags but
I intend on creating an AppleScript Studio App. that will save text as
RTF to be imported into Quark.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
set address_file to (path to desktop as text) & "address.rtf"
set {import styles, convert quotes} to {true, true}
set story 1 of text box 1 of page 1 of front document to alias
address_file
end tell
Results >> "QuarkXPress got an error: Can't set story 1 of text box 1 of
page 1 of document 1 to alias
\"AppleRocks:Users:kurt:Desktop:address.rtf\"."
Question 2: How do I get a reference to a project with the currently
selected text box? I want to be able to address the project window as it
may not be the front project.
set project_name to name of project of current box
close project "project_name" without saving
Results >> "QuarkXPress got an error: Can't get name of project of
current box."
set obj to a reference to the project of the current box
close obj without saving
Results >> "QuarkXPress got an error: Can't get project of current box."
I have tried many variations and searched the archives on both issues
with no success. Any help would be much appreciated.
(Quark XPress 6.5 on OS X 10.3.9.)
Good health always,
