{2} *# Object Nº.
[Long integer]
This Tag creates a box ID number on the placed object. In QuarkXPress, the number is saved
with the box. It can be read and changed via the Box properties dialogue in the DATAform
menu. Otherwise it has no influence on the administration or printing of the object from Quark-
XPress.
The object number is of crucial importance for the identification of boxes in a QuarkXPress
document and for the bi-directional exchange with a database. Unique numbers are crucial for
the mutual updating of the database and the QuarkXPress (See under “Box properties” and
“Importing hand made documents”, page: 137)
If a Tag other than zero is transferred, DATAformXTension checks upon import that the object
is unique. (See under “Import boxes”, page: 15.)
No checking is done if the object number *#0 (zero) is transferred, or the Tag is missing. If
objects are duplicated in QuarkXPress, their object numbers are duplicated, too!
¶*T0*#-317*$¶
creates a line with the object number –317.
