How to get Quark 6.5 box bounds in Mac OSx10.6

Hi,

I am using Mac OSx 10.6.2 to write a quark script.

my script is:


tell application "QuarkXPress"
	tell page 1 of document 1
		set c to item 1 of (bounds of group box 1 as list)
	end tell
end tell

When I run the script, it returns the value «data FXVM00A40000», instead of returning values in points.
Can any one help me how to get the box bounds in points.

Thanks,
Gopal

Hi krish,

You may want to try:


tell application "QuarkXPress"
   tell page 1 of document 1
       set c to item 1 of (bounds of group box 1)
       set c to coerce c to real
   end tell
end tell

Good luck!

Best regards from sticky Berlin,
