Microsoft Office is an office suite of applications, servers, and services developed by Microsoft. It was first announced by Bill Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand.

This month’s AutoHotkey Webinar we helped a few people with their projects
We debuted AHKHotKeyStringLookup however I recommend you wait a day or two before downloading it so we can fix the glitch we saw in the webinar.
Dimitri mentioned this link for helping solve his goal of attaching a file to an active, inline, email
I’ve been shoving AutoHotkey code into MS Word a lot lately and got tired of going through all the steps to disable the spell check and grammar checker each time. I tried looking for a button inside MS Word to add to my toolbar but I couldn’t find a button to apply the settings (or to get me to the Proofing page) so I decided to write it in AutoHotkey. Here’s the video explaining how I got the code and the hiccups I had along the way.
Disabling Spelling and Grammar check in MS Word with AutoHotkey
#SingleInstance,Force
doc:=ComObjActive("Word.Application") ;this would activate an open one
doc.Application.ScreenUpdating := False
doc.Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType:=True
doc.Options.CheckGrammarAsYouType :=True
doc.ActiveDocument.ShowSpellingErrors := False
doc.ActiveDocument.ShowGrammaticalErrors := False
doc.Application.ScreenUpdating := True ;Update the screen
In this video I demonstrate a new function I added to my AHK Excel Library. VLookups are really cool! In the below video I demonstrate how to use the function. Note, near the end I tried turning off the “exact match”. This doesn’t create a “fuzzy” match, it looks for the next highest value. (Probably something you should be very careful using…)
In this session of “what I’ve automated with AutoHotkey” I explain how I saved my client a ton of time and money by using the Google Translate API.
How I used Google Translate to save the client both time and money
Below is the code I used in the code to Google Translate to save the client both time and money. Make sure you put my Excel function library and Maestrith’s Notify function in your library.
