Unhappy Pages is not scriptable...

The thread title says it all. Pages does not support apple script. I had such high hopes for using it as the basis for some auto-generated documents. Well it looks like LaTeX still will be with me for a while.

Will Automater solve that problem in Tiger, as it supports AppleScript?

As I understand it, Automator is the old script recorder on steroids, but it would still require an application that is scriptable in order to work.

As for Pages, so far I have found more things that it isn't than things it is. Certainly it is no replacement for AppleWorks as some have claimed.

Well automator won't help but I have poked around with the XML .pages file and there is some hope for an old fashioned text based solution.
