We specialise in automating tasks within Office applications, as well as making them work together seamlessly.

Often you need more than one Office program to get something done.  For example, you may have data in Excel that will be used to populate forms in Word.  You then need to attach each completed form to an Outlook e-mail.  This could be quite time-involved, but all of these steps could be replaced with a button (in either Word or Excel), saving time and effort.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is the programming language that underlies all of the Microsoft Office programs.  This common programming language allows for any Office program to integrate seamlessly with any other Office program.

Some of the benefits of automating tasks in Office:

• Time savings – multi-step tasks can be accomplished at the click of a button.
• Improved accuracy – automating tasks reduces the risk of error, particularly where there are complex steps, or tedious, repetitive tasks.
• Import from or export to external data sources – data can be loaded from various file formats, or exported to another file without the need to copy and paste.

With years of experience in automating all sorts of Office tasks, Rightcoast IT can help – from simple functions to complex, multi-step tasks.  To discuss what we can do for you, please get in touch.
