Thank you both

The basic problem remains, in that measurements are returned as data that cannot be coerced into integer or real or text. Quark is locked up.

Neither method works, sorry.

Hi Santa,
 
It's been a long long time I have done something in quark....
How about this approach...
- Add 1 inch to the page
- Shift all elements
 
 
tell application "QuarkXPress"

tell document 1

set tool mode to drag mode

set EverySelection to select every generic box

set thelist to bounds of current box as list 

set newa to item 1 of thelist as real

set newb to item 2 of thelist as real

set newc to item 3 of thelist as real

set newd to item 4 of thelist as real

set bounds of current box to {newa + 1, newb, newc + 1, newd}

set pageHeight to get page height as real

set pageHeight to pageHeight + 1

set page height to pageHeight

end tell

end tell

 

Best regards,Jan

Could you not get the size first (properties of document 1) then set the page height
