Automating Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is incredibly rich in tools and options.
The Mailing Ribbon is an excellent example
of office automation: Reading from left to right, the Mailing
Ribbon walks you through the process of merging a document with
a recipients list. Styles are another example of
automation. Styles make it easy to update the formatting.
Imagine searching for all of the headlines in a 300 page
document and formatting them one at a time. Styles lets you
edit the formatting in one place and have it update all of the
similar headlines.
More Automation Work that has many steps in the process can
be boring, repetitive and error-prone. Fortunately, Microsoft Word is
programmable: you can customize and automate the steps with
Macros.
So, if you are ready, please Start Microsoft Word.
