Clipboard to RTF OSAX (TEST VERSION 0.9.6) I commisioned the renown
Donald Olson to write this OSAX (scripting addition) for me. It converts styled text
on the clipboard into an RTF (Rich Text Format) file. Useful for getting styled text
out of FileMaker Pro and into the Apple Media Tool or a variety of other uses.
It does have a few limitations: its doesn't support color or stylesheets. But I find it
useful nonetheless.
Clipboard to HTML OSAX (TEST VERSION 0.6) Another OSAX frmom Donald Olson, this one will convert
styled text on the clipboard to HTML! This means that the text from any FileMaker Pro database
can be converted to HTML instantly. Optional parameters include:
- You can choose the character to use in place of a bullet
- You can choose wheter to use line breaks or paragraphs for return characters
- THere is an option to have any underlined text treated as raw HTML--perfect for URLs!
Clipboard to XPress Tags OSAX (TEST VERSION 0.3)
The one that everybody's wanted! Again, from OSAX master Donald Olson. It's here... an OSAX which will convert styled text on the clipboard to XPress Tags.
It makes extracting styled text from FileMaker to QuarkXPress a breeze and comes with a sample FileMaker database already
including the transfer script.
QuarkXPress

- Make FPO Overlays * This is a bug fix for a script that ships
with XPert Tools Vol. 2. There was a problem making the overlay boxes on
the right-hand facing page. I forgot to set the item spread coords to true
before getting the bounds of target boxes! The classic mistake many QXP
scripters make--see, it can happen to anyone!
NEW!! How
to: Database Publishing Lesson #1 * Much requested and finally
here, this is the first lesson on how to create automated database publishing
solutions yourself. This lesson is for anyone--even those new to AppleScript.
The lesson is a step-by-step procedure for performing a mail merge between
a FileMaker Pro database and a QuarkXPress document or template. Also included
is an editable FaceSpan applet which will easily replace placeholder text
in a QuarkXPress document with the contents of fields from any FileMaker
database. This lesson is featured in the new X-Ray magazine.
