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.
