Hi with this question in mind with pages can you see how many pages a document 
has in pages? Is it possible to expand on that script to include page numbers 
in a document? 
I'm asking because for my college assignments I need to have word count and to 
see how many pages I have written. 

Has this been mentioned to apple accessibility email address? If not I might go 
ahead and send them an email I would hope they add it in a text edit update at 
some point.     On 24 Dec 2011, at 20:19, Esther wrote:
