I wrote a script for Xpress 3/4 to import text only in certain text boxes. To do this I filled the target boxes with Magenta, leaving the rest as “null”. Then I run something like this:
tell app “Quark Xpress”
tell document 1
set story 1 of every text box whose color is “Magenta” to “Hello!”
end tell – doc
end tell – app
This seems not working with Xpress 6.5: if asked via a “get properties” command, it recognizes “Magenta” (or any other color, and “null” too) as the color property of the target boxes, but it refuses to feed them saying that a text box whose color = magenta (or null) does means nothing to it.
Did anyone else already crashed against this wall?
Thank you in advance for help
