MS Office Automation

You know MS Office as the application suite you use to write letters, analyse data, and send e-mail. However, behind these familiar applications are tools to customize and automate your MS Office chores. Chief among these is Visual Basic of Applications, Microsoft’s powerful programming language. MS Excel, Word and Outlook are discussed below; click here for more information on MS Access.

If your company is performing the same tasks on a regular basis using Excel, you should consider automating these systems. Automation saves time, reduces human error, and allows more than one person to control the process. Virtually any action that can be performed in Excel can be automated. Excel can also be customized to connect with databases, display automated reports and even pull data from the web.

Similarly, Microsoft Word can be programmed to automate any task associated with document creation and publication. The most common such application is the generation of letters or reports from data located elsewhere. For example, an investment bank may create security prospectuses to clients based on records in its contact management system.

Finally, MS Outlook can be used for much more than e-mail and contacts. With a little programming, you can create forms for surveys and feedback, develop customized calendars, or share contact and other information between employees.
