Thanks for all your help and quick responses. I have successfully
made my text Uppercase.
Another quick question, hopefully:
Baseline Shift - I think I've got the correct syntax, but it keeps
giving me errors. Here's the syntax I'm using:
tell text box ("Region Name")
set bounds to {-5.668, 12, 12.472, 71.459}
set baseline to -2.64
set vertical justification to bottom justified
end tell
Cheers

David,
From Applescript essential sub-routines ( available at http://
www.apple.com/applescript/guidebook/sbrt/pgs/sbrt.07.htm )
Changing Case
The following sub-routine will change the case of alpha characters
of passed text to either all lower or all caps. The sub-routine has
two passed parameters:
1) the passed text to alter, 2) a case indicator
A case indicator of 0 will have the routine convert the passed text
to lower case.
change_case("AppleScript", 0)
--> "applescript"
A case indicator of 1 will have the routine convert the passed text
to all caps.
change_case("AppleScript", 1)
--> "APPLESCRIPT"
---
on change_case(this_text, this_case)
if this_case is 0 then
set the comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
set the source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
else
set the comparison_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
set the source_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
end if
set the new_text to ""
repeat with this_char in this_text
set x to the offset of this_char in the comparison_string
if x is not 0 then
set the new_text to ¬
(the new_text & character x of the source_string) as string
else
set the new_text to (the new_text & this_char) as string
end if
end repeat
return the new_text
end change_case
