Hi,

to use the Ms Word package, is it necessary that Microsoft Word is installed on the device?

 

Thanks,

Corrado

    For: https://botstore.automationanywhere.com/bot/a2019-microsoft-word-package Word installation is not required, but this package has limitations.

    • It does not replace text within tables
    • It adds new blank line at the last page after each replacement
       

    Try this package, word installation not necessary:

    Hi ​@Marc 1985 ,

    isn't there a package to use Word without having it installed on the device as Excel Basic?

    ​@CorraCastel not that I am aware of…

    But not used Word very often in my automations.

    Let's wait for someone who have more experience on that.

      Team,

      Let’s say if I want to replace text within tables, and not use keystrokes, what is the best way to go about this?
