Q: AppleScript Learning Resource to Automate Tasks in Excel, Word, and Outlook for Mac 2011 and/or 2016
Hello: The subject line succinctly describes my query. I am looking for a learning resource or resources that will equip me with the basic skills and knowledge that will allow me to automate a number of tasks involving MS Office applications (for Mac) Excel, Word, and Outlook (2011 or 2016--or earlier if the basic concepts/commands can be generalized to the newer versions without too much difficulty).
Danny Goodman's AppleScript Handbook (2005 Version) was recommended to me by my brother and Microsoft, as it places a good amount of emphasis on automating tasks in these programs. However, I was uncertain about how relevant this resource would be for scripting in the 2011 or 16 Office versions for MAC.
I appreciate your time and any answers (or alternative suggestions) that you can provide.
Kind regards,
Ray
