Automation of the Microsoft’s Office programs

Abstract

This thesis was inspired by two of my independent projects, created for the companies requiring automating their Microsoft Office programs. First one of which, is an Outlook plugin that saves mails to the server and the second, is an Excel macro that creates Word document invoices. Thesis will also try to scratch some history of the Microsoft Office and the OpenOffice. Microsoft Office is the most popular software bundle for office use by far. Anyone, who worked on a computer from the early 2000’s, is probably familiar with the product. Nowa- days, office comes packed with features that make customer experience more pleasant. Sometimes, user finds himself in a copy-pasting loop. This thesis will show, that there are ways to ease the user of such tasks and make the software do the heavy lifting for them.
