Automating Apple Pages Formatting Tasks?

Questions & Suggestions
1

I'd like to automate a couple things in Apple's Pages app. I'd like to:

  1. Have a hotkey to set Text -> Layout -> "Text Inset" field to "0 pt"
  2. Set Text -> Style -> Alignment: 3rd row down: vertical middle alignment

Is there any way to automate this?

This is probably best done using AppleScript.

Hey Frank,

You mean indent?

First, Left, or Right?

This can be done but will take UI-Scripting

This can be done via Pages_Menu_Bar > Format > Text > ...

@ccstone not indentation:
1:
Inset: example_inset

2:
Middle: example

Please re-upload these graphics without the blurred parts.

Sub-panels are dependent upon which panels are selected.

Ideally you should also zip and post a sample Pages document.

If you haven't read this it's worth a couple of minutes of your time.
