Quark Forums

Dear All,

i can get page name using below script

tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
--set masterlist to name of every page of document 1
--set name of page 1 of document 1 to "h"
get name of page 1 of document 1
--get properties of page 1 of document 1
end tell

Please help me to set the page name as per my need as 1 or 2(QuarkXPress 6.52)

Regards,

Have a look at the dictionary - I think you'll find page name is read only. You can't set it.
It is really the same as the page number, but the number is a number, the name is a text string (probably, or one of those strange things that needs a lot of coercion!)

I think the only instances where your pages could have names other than the document numbering is if you have 'sections' that have prefixes and/or other formatting… There is no access to using sections via scripting other than ugly GUI stuff.

 Actually, just to clarify things:

Page names (from an ApplesScript POV) are the actual page number as they appear in the Document Layout palette.

Page Numbers (from an ApplesScript POV) are the position of those pages within the document.

Remember not all Quark documents need to start on page 1 (the name) but every Quark document has a page 1 (the number).

That said, naming pages is not available through AppleScript at this time.

I was able to accomplish this with the scripting addition Extra Suites
