Posted on by 12

Hello Guys, 

I would like to create a Bot that grabs the Data like " Name"," Surename", "Date" from Excel and put that information into a Word-Template. After that i want to Save that Doc. Is there a way to do that with Power Automate Desktop? 

I know the cloud solution but im wondering if its possible to create a RPA Desktop flow to do this.y

 

Thank You for your Help!

    There are no native actions in PAD to interact with MS Word. But you can read and edit MS Word documents using scripting, such as PowerShell and VBscript. That's the best way to do it in PAD.

     

    An alternative (that is much less stable) would be automating the MS Word UI, but you would likely need to resort to using keystrokes to access specific fields in the document. So, it is very error-prone and also quite hard to build.
