Hi,
As I am starting with Mac, AppleScript and Quark I would ask someone to help.
I want to add a frame around a few paragraphs selected inside a text box.
My idea was to create a transparent picture box, with black frame and no wrapping style (no runaround text).
My question : how to get the bounds of the selected text?
Here’s my code:
tell application "QuarkXPress Passportª"
set errNoSelection to "Select the text around which you want a frame"
try
tell front document
set the selected_text to contents of selection
set boxTop to top of bounds of selection
set boxLeft to left of bounds of selection
set boxHeight to height of bounds of selection
set boxWidth to width of bounds of selection
set NewBox to make new picture box at beginning with properties {bounds:({boxTop, boxLeft, boxHeight, boxWidth}), color:null, frame:{color:"black", style:solid, width:"1 pt"},runaround:none runaround}
end tell
end try
end tell
Please HELP!
