Script XTensions software
When Script XTensions software is loaded, the Scripts menu is available in the
QuarkXPress menu bar. From this menu, you can run any AppleScript script in the
"Scripts" folder in the QuarkXPress application folder. Script XTensions software makes
a collection of AppleScript scripts available from this menu by default, and you can
add your own AppleScript scripts to the menu by adding them to the "Scripts" folder.
To use Script XTensions software, simply choose a script from the Scripts menu, and
the script runs. The provided default scripts are organized into submenus.
Please note that although these scripts are designed to operate in as many workflows
as possible, specific settings in your workflow might prevent them from operating
correctly. Therefore, we recommend that you save your layouts before running any
scripts that affect them
Script XTensions software is for Mac OS X only.
Script XTensions software must be loaded before you can run any AppleScript scripts
that affect QuarkXPress, whether the scripts are launched from QuarkXPress or from
another location (such as the desktop).
Other required components include the following:
Standard Additions Scripting Addition
