Your code looks a bit odd. If there's no crossing of environments, Quark
should do the coercions and you shouldn't need to use the coerce command.
But if you do need to do them, I don't think that's how you do it. I'm going
on distant memory, but I think you'd need to "coerce...to", not "as",
something like:
set theWidth to (width of bounds of TheRef)
set PlacingWidth to coerce theWidth to real
Sadly for you, but thankfully for me, Quark stuff is now a distant
nightmare, so this is from the days of version 6 and earlier.
