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.
