Re: Quark 7 Kerning
Thanks Stan
This works perfectly. And thanks for the "Character is in" example.
That will come in very handy.

Oakley,
the following code works here with Quark 6.52:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell text box 1 of page 1 of document 1
set charCount to count characters
repeat with i from 1 to charCount
if character i is in
{"i", "l", "w", "y"} then
set kern of
character i to -5.0
end if
end repeat
set kern of characters 5 thru 20 to 10.0
end tell
end tell
The
"i", "l", "w", "y" bit is pure
nonsense, but demonstrates addressing one
character
at a time based upon some criterion. You can also do a range of
characters,
as shown.
HTH,
Stan C.
