Cheers Yvan,
It works fine apart from when I put it the converted text into Quark.
I have put in some display dialogs in, before and after the encoding
and they are showing what I'm expecting, in that, before the encoding
the bullet points, TM, etc are not there, then after encoding they
are there.
However when I put the converted text into a text box in Quark at
first glance it doesn't display. Then I spotted the small red box
with a cross through it at the bottom left hand corner of the text
box. So if I put my cursor at the beginning of the box and press
delete the first bullet point appears, then I press my right arrow
and press delete the space between the bullet point and the first
letter shows, and then after delete and the right arrow are pressed I
get the first letter and so on. I hope this is clear.
Even if you extent the text box to the bottom of the page the text
does not appear, however I know it is there. Has anyone got any clues
as to why this would happen.
My code as it is now:
display dialog strCatDesc_General
tell application "Cyclone"
set inputEncoding to Win_ANSI --Win_ANSI Unicode
set destEncoding to Mac_Roman
set convertedData to (convert text strCatDesc_General from
inputEncoding to destEncoding)
end tell
display dialog convertedData
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
tell page iPage
make text box at beginning with properties {name:{"Test
Description"}, bounds:{0, 40, 40, 90}, runaround:{0, 0, 0, 0}}
make new text at beginning of text box ("Test Description") with
properties {contents:convertedData, size:8, font:"Helvetica Light"}
end tell
end tell
end tell
Here below is a screen shot of my Quark document, on the left is the
text box where I pop the converted text and on the right is the
unconverted text
Cheers in advance for any help

Hello
Your encodings are wrongly defined.
use:
tell application "Cyclone"
try
set inputEncoding to Win_ANSI
set destEncoding to Mac_Roman
set convertedData to (convert text original from inputEncoding to
destEncoding)
on error number the error_number
error "Cyclone conversion error." & return & "Error code: " &
(error_number as text)
end try
end tell
