Linking Numbers and Pages?

In reading other topics, I see some have stated that Numbers is a Database with page layout features. Really? I'm lost.

When I copy and Paste to Pages, I retain the gridlines and titles. I would love to drop those and make the new Pages doc perform like aWord Processing doc, unlinked hopefully.

When I try to Export from Numbers, I only get Excel, PDF, or CSV as choices.

Can you export directly to Pages and link or unlink the two of them?

Am I missing something here?

bf,

I'm glad you found a workflow that you are comfortable with. In an earlier post in this thread, I said:

It sounds as though one problem is that you want tabular data, and Convert Table to Text will give you that in Pages. But, it also sounds as though a Table would suffice if you could turn off all the lines. This would make a nice, easy to copy, object. Am I correct?

The Table I was suggesting is exactly what you got from the Apple Store person. However, I wasn't going to propose the pass through Bento. I'm ambivalent about Bento, I'm not familiar with it, but I don't see the charm in it either.
