Setting QuarkXPress page width; works in 9 not in X

tell application “QuarkXPress”
tell document 1
set page width to “8.5"”
end tell
end tell

This doesn’t do anything in Quark6. No error message is provided. Simply nothing happens. All prior versions of quark this script works fine (albeit OS 9).

I’ve tried the set property syntax as well and nothing happens.
Whats wrong?

I’ve seen a lot of questions about this and the answer was most of the time: it’s a bug in quark 6.

Michiel,

I have heard the very same thing. Thank you.

However it did not prevent me from wasting hours of time trying to get it to work :cry:

Oh well leave it to Quark not to post anything on their web site remotely indicating support or bug fixes.
