Can anyone try this? Seems to happen in Quark 6, 7 and 8:
Draw a text box with 2 columns. Put some type in it. Say 2 paragraphs (of one line each), then an enter to force it into the next column, then some more type.
Now run:
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress"
tell text box 1
tell story 1
tell paragraph 3
count of lines
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Paragraph 3 (the top of column 2) will show up as having 3 lines, even if it's only got 1.
If paragraph 3 only contains a return, it shows as one line.
Also, a paragraph ending with a return usually returns 2 lines, whereas the one ending with 'enter' shows as 1 line (assuming single line paragraphs!).
I have a script which depends on the length of the paragraph, and when the para falls at the top of a column, it goes wrong.
I may have raised this before, a couple of years ago, but I'd still love an answer!
