Title: Help with Xtags and Quark 8, please.
Hi I have a test script that I want to import some text into Quark from a txt file that has xtags in it.
I keep on getting a syntax error:
A Xtags:true, from:theFile can’t go after this text.

Heres the script

set theFile to "xxxxxxxxx"
tell application "QuarkXPress"
    activate
    make new document at beginning
    set import styles to true
    tell document 1
        set tool mode to contents mode
        make new text box at beginning with properties {bounds:{1, 1, 5, 7}}
        get text with Xtags from thefile  -- This is where the error happens.
Etc
Etc

Any advise on the proper syntax would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Nick
