Title: Value of insertion point in Quark 8
Hi all,

Does anyone know the syntax to get the value of the insertion point?
So basically in this case I just need the number 295

How can I grep this number out of the properties?


---script---
tell application "QuarkXPress"
    activate
   set theselection to selection
   set selection to insertion point before theselection
   properties of selection
end
tell
---script---

---output--
   
get properties of selection
       {class:selection-object, object reference:insertion point after character 295 of text flow 1 of text box 1 of layout space "Layout 1" of project "Project2"}
---output--



Many thanks,jan
