I'm new here and this may be a FAQ, in which case apologies and
please point me to it (I couldn't find it from searching the archive.
I had a script for Quark 4.11 that would search out numbers set in
Adobe Garamond and change them to Adobe Garamond Expert. This worked
with no problems. I upgraded to Quark 5.01 and it broke. I finally
managed to get a version that worked (below) on a single page single
text box file. When I try and use it with a 52 page booklet with
three text boxes per page it times out (even though I've set the
timeout to 10 minutes) and Quark crashes. Am I missing something
obvious? Is there a better way to do this? The event log shows it
getting as far as the "set" line.
tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
tell document 1
with timeout of 600 seconds
set font of every character of every text box of every page whose ¬
(it is "1" or it is "2" or it is "3" or it is "4" or it is ¬
"5" or it is "6" or it is "7" or it is "8" or it is "9"
or it is "0") ¬
and font is "AGaramond" to "AGaramondExp"
end timeout
display dialog "Script completed successfully!"
end tell
end tell
