Predefined automator workflows not found

[David_J_Bell]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel After watching the video tutorial "Save time by using predefined workflows" (found on iTunes under offfice 2008 how-to videos), I decided to try this feature out. But the predefined workflows the tutorial says should be in the scripts menu of Word, and the scripts it says should be in the Automator application are strangely absent. What could be thre reason for this. Some of them look very useful.

Thanks!

There are no Automator Workflows included with the Home and Student version
of Office 2008.

That's the main difference between the cheap version and the expensive
version of Office: the cheap one doesn't include the extras.

You can make your own workflows using the Record function of Automator, or
you can download some here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/

Thanks! I'll check out the ones on the apple site. I've made some automator scripts in the past, but nothing that I've ever really found useful afterwards (no deficiency in the application of course, just my lack of insight).
