appleworks word processing text

Sorry if my question was too simplistic.

I am not a programmer, but I've created a 75 page script that uses 500 fields from 9 relational databases in Filemaker Pro to create 4 page written documents from scratch.

If I use the "with data" syntax, I would have to set a variable and continue updating that variable based on the conditions of the script and the data from the database, at the end of which I would have to plop that 4 page variable into a word processing document. After all that, I would have to re-manipulate the data to set text styles and so on. With MacWrite Pro, I can "put chars" line by line or word by word and set text styles as I go. There must be a simpler way to create text as the script analyzes each condition that it encounters. Does this make any sense or am I just an idiot?

Please don't answer that last question!
