Is this possible? If a text box is created with, say, 5, 5, 7, 1 as runaround elements can a picture box be created to match these runaround specifications?
I have read Shirley Hopkins book but she only mentions importing an image and tracing over it using the spline (polygon) tool. I need to keep the elements either text box or picture box.
Help?
Thank you,
Steven.
If there is a way to change the text box to picture box without creating a new picture box and capturing the properties of the text box that would work fine but I do not know how to do that.
Does Quark 4.11 allow you to do the Item / Content / change with AS?
Thank you,
Steven.
Hi Steve:
Here’s one possible way:
tell application "QuarkXPress™"
tell front document
activate
tell page 1
tell current box
set name to "deletethisbox"
set boxbounds to bounds as list
set a to item 1 of boxbounds as list
set b to item 2 of boxbounds as list
set c to item 3 of boxbounds as list
set d to item 4 of boxbounds as list
set thename to name
end tell
make new picture box at beginning with properties {bounds:{a, b, c, d}}
delete (every generic box where name of it is thename)
end tell
end tell
end tell
