| Apply Quark Box Names
|
|
|
|
Description: This action will apply a specified AppleScript name to a selected box, or all text or picture boxes in an entire document, or on the current page of a document. This action operates on the frontmost opened Quark document.
When implementing automation in a Quark-based workflow, scripts and Automator workflows need a way to differentiate between boxes in a document. This is necessary in order to ensure that the appropriate box in a document is processed at the appropriate time. For example, if you are building a catalog, you might want to ensure that your product prices are placed into specific boxes in your catalog.
Without box naming, boxes are typically processed by a script or Automator workflow in order, from front to back. While this method may work for some, it is not always recommended, as re-ordering of boxes can break an automated workflow. To allow for more robust automation, boxes in a document to be processed should be assigned names, instead.
Some of our Automator actions that will place data in QuarkXPress documents require that you assign names to boxes in Quark. This action has been provided to give you a way to assign those names.Once boxes have been named in a QuarkXPress document, you may copy them from one document to another, or from one page to another, and the box names should still be retained.
Please be aware that box names, once applied, are not visible in Quark. To retrieve a list of box names that have been applied by this action, to ensure that proper naming has occurred, you may run our Retrieve Quark Box Names action.
