Great. Actually, the intended behavior is for the script to trap the  
duplicate file name error and present a dialog with two alternative  
buttons. One button moves the conflicting (older) file to the trash  
and continues the script, and the other leaves the files as they are  
and aborts the script (deleting the new duplicate). This happens in  
Tiger, but in Leopard this error is not caught in the script and the  
dialog is not presented. This leads to a subsequent error, which does  
stop the script (without altering any files) but leaves behind the new  
duplicate. So it works OK, but it's less elegant than it should be.

One other minor problem I'm seeing in Leopard is that the feedback  
text box in Pages (the green box) is specified in the script as not  
having word wrap, but it does anyway. This shoves the text around a  
bit while the box is showing--a cosmetic issue only as the text  
collapses back to normal when the box is deleted. Again, this is more  
elegant in Tiger where the box just sits above the text without  
affecting it (the intended behavior). I'll be looking to fix these  
minor issues as Leopard develops.
