RobertÂ’s Text Cleanup Script! v1.0
((c)1999 Robert A. Holmes, all rights reserved)
An AppleScript for the busy Graphic Designer.
(An individual may use this AppleScript free of charge!)
Say goodbye to repetitive search and replaces.
This AppleScript helps you clean up imported text in Quark Xpress, fast
and easy.
It removes: extra spaces, tabs, returns, and converts occurrences of
three periods in a row to the ellipsis character.
It does all this without affecting applied paragraph styles, and
preserving specific local formatting, if present (bold, italics,
bold-italics, superscript, subscript, etc).
The script intentionally does not remove a single tab character at the
beginning of a paragraph.
Requirements:
-A Power Macintosh computer running OS 8.0 through 8.6.
-AppleScript
-Quark Xpress 3.32r2 or 3.32r5 (PPC version)
-Quark XPress 4.04
