How can I make a pre-existing text box change justication from right to left?

Have you checked the dictionary of quark?

I'm not on my work so I can't check it but isn't it something like:


set justification of .... to 'right'.

Tell us a bit more... can you give us the script you made so far?

I have placed text in a labeled text box and would like to
make if flush left.

Quark Dic
has justification left justify/right justify/full force etc.
in a line of characters.

yet when I

set justification of line 1 to left justify

I get an scripting error and script will not configure

when I

set justification of line 1 to left

the script configures but quarkexpress can't make...... left

I'm still not at work but tommorow I will try to make a script at work.

In the mean time you can try the following:
make a new quardocument with 1 or more textboxes with some text in it.
and try the following script (I sit now behind a wintel machine so I do it by heart)

tell application "quark"
tell document 1
set justification of every text of every story of every text box to left
end tell
end tell

You can try to skip the 'every text' part or try it with left justify.

If this still doesn't I will try it at work and you get the answer tommorow.
Good luck

For Quark 4.1 (OS 9.2.2.) is this the right way:

[code:1:40e4cbca4c]tell application "QuarkXPress Passport™ 4.11"
tell document 1
set justification of every story of every text box to leftjust
--set justification of every story of every text box to rightjust
--set justification of every story of every text box to centered
end tell
end tell[/code:1:40e4cbca4c]

Good Luck

Is it working right???
