Without denying that Microsoft Word is a versatile and feature-rich app for creating documents, unfortunately, it lacks batch processing capabilities. If you are working with dozens Word files regularly, then you might be looking for a tool that can help you skip certain tedious tasks.

Word Automation Tool is an application that enables you to batch process Word documents and modify their settings while maintaining the original files untouched.

The program comes with a simple and clean GUI that displays all available functions and features. While the vast majority of the interface is dedicated to viewing the documents, in the lower section you can preview the active task selected for the processing.

You should know that the program generates copies of the documents it processes and does not modify the content of the original files. You can access the processed files from the folder that the application creates automatically on the desktop. While the desktop is the default location, you should keep in mind that you can change the location anytime or configure the tool to process the documents in the file's native folders.

As you probably already hinted, you can browse through and switch through the tasks by accessing the Select Command Type function from the toolbar. Therefore, the app permits you to remove certain objects from your documents, modify the page setup, split large documents into separate Word files and vice versa as well as delete the header and footer.

It is important to note that the application is mainly designed to lend you a hand with the basic formatting of the documents and hence, does not include advanced editing functions. Therefore, if you need to change the content of the documents, then you can do so via Word.

In the eventuality that you need to change the format or remove individual objects from Word documents so that the data meets legal or other standards your files need to adhere to, then perhaps Word Automation Tool might be the tool to try out.
