Automating Microsoft copy/paste

[captaingforce 0]

Hi there AutoIt guru's...

I need some help figuring out how to write correct commands in the script to pull data from individual boxes in an Excel spreadsheet and putting that data into particular parts of sentences and letterhead in a Word document. I figure that this program which can do almost anything, can help me script what is basically a simple copy/paste command for a human do just do, this will just take care of my 1000+ documents much much faster!

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Once this project is done I will share my script too and definitely put in a word of thanks to those who helped!

Definitely look at Word and Excel UDFs. They are part of standard includes so you will find it also with examples in Autoit's helpfile.

Welcome and Happy scripting ...

I knew it had to be somewhere, just haven't scripted in a little while. AutoIts helpfile is extensive and well done, I'll see what I can find, just must have missed it.

and thank you!
