How can I duplicate a sheet in Numbers by AppleScript? Thanks

No doubt an "off the wall" question based on total misunderstanding, but here goes. I am writing a Pages document and find myself needing one of a few hundred phrases one or more times on each of maybe 50 pages. I expect to be creating several more documents needing the same phrases. Turns out the phrases (actually bird names) have a 4-letter "code". What I'd like to do is create a "macro" so that while in Pages, I type the code, and the "macro" would look up the code and render the phrase. That does not seem possible with AppleScript, as I cannot determine how to invoke a "macro" from inside Pages. I suppose it might be possible to write the document using the codes and post process it so that an AppleScript could look at the text to find the codes and then do the lookup, but I'm not sure. Any advice?

why for me it just comes up with my finder
