What you need to do is to download actions, which are Automator

While
you *can* extend automator actions, that's a bit of programming to
do it, so
in general, no, you can't easily make Automator do anything other
than what
the Actions allow for. For Excel, and Office in general, you can get a
collection of actions from
<http://automatoractions.com/files/msofficeactionset1.0.1.html>
It doesn't look like anyone's done any actions for pages. What
specifically
did you want?

Hello all,
thank you for your responses. That saves me a lot of time trying to
figure things out. I do know what applescript is and agree with
another poster that using automator in many ways is a matter of shoe
horning something in where it is not welcome. Certainly for the use we
were trying to see if it would work for it is far easier, faster, and
productive to simply spend the 5 minutes it takes each time to
properly format a spreadsheet.
thank you,
-marc
