Hello fellow scripters:

The story object has a justification property that one sets like this:

-- Note the lack of quotes in this code
tell parent story
set justification to left justified
end tell

I want to store the justification value in a variable and apply it later. I hvae tried this:

set MyJustification to left justified
...
set justification to MyJustification

and this

set MyJustification to "left justified"
...
set justification to MyJustification

Neither works.

How can I set justification with a variable?

TIA.
