Hello
As you seems to be mora aware than I am about Insetion points, I will
ccept that my assumption was wrong.
- 1 - what is wrong here:
tell application "Pages" to tell document 1
get properties of insertion point 12 of body text
end tell
which returns: "Erreur dans Pages : NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4"
Hello Yvan,
You need to use a correct reference form for referencing the insertion
point you are interested in; for example:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
get properties of insertion point before character 12 of body text
end tell
end tell
assuming there are at least 12 characters in the the document.

"You might also try setting the
contents of an insertion point."
I tried with:
tell application "Pages" to tell document 1
set contents of insertion point 12 of body text to " truc "
end tell
Well, I'm discovering Pages' scripting thanks to this thread and thus
needed some trials and errors.
Of course, the same as above holds.
Otherwise this one, for example, "works" here:
tell application "Pages"
tell front document
set text of insertion point before character 12 of body text to
"truc"
end tell
end tell
Another example of lying dictionary?
HTH,
Axel
