 But the lack of scripting support in Pages
 just baffles me, for many reasons:

Good arguments, Tom. But there are surely some alternative explanations for this 'crazy unscriptability' of Pages 1.0:


- an anti-AppleScript conspiracy inside Apple

That's a bit strong. But it's safe to say that AppleScript is not held in high esteem in every group at Apple. Then that is apparent from the products, isn't it. If there were a mandate from Steve Jobs, it would change that situation, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that.



Hello

Have you ever look at the structure of a Keynote document (technotes TN2067 and 2073)?

It is clear that the app is ONE interface between the user and a data structure.
It's the same for Pages.


It will be quite easy to work on these XML documents to do repetitive tasks.

A mailing for instance will be done from a lup which will store some value in defined place holder in a text file.

This will be doable thru AppleScript.
