Automating a specific option in microsoft word

archer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have many files that contain spanish data. To convert to english, i downloaded a software called wordmagic which when installed creates a new tab in microsoft word. It has specific options like translate and language setting tabs to convert a file to english. But it has to be done manually for n number of files. Is there any way to automate it in perl or is it possible to convert the files to english using any other methods?

Record a macro in Word which activates this plugin, if it's repeatable that way you could convert the vba macro to Perl and use Win32::OLE to automate the process. See: Using OLE with Perl How do I convert a VBA macro to Perl? Super Search for Word OLE automation.	[reply]
