Where are Office 2008 applications listed in Mac Automator?

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: imap

The Mac Automator application has a library panel of applications and another panel of actions that are available for each application. However, I don't see any of the Office 2008 applications listed. Anyone know how to add them and their associated actions?

They are available in three different categories: "Presentations" for
PowerPoint actions, "Documents" for Word and Excel actions, and Mail for
Entourage actions. Please note that the Automator actions are not available
in the Home & Student edition of Office 2008. Which edition are you using?

Thanks, Michael. I run "Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition" and see now that Automator actions for workflows are only available in the "Office 2008 or Mac" and "Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition." Unfortunate. I didn't realize at the time I purchased H&SE the significance of not having Automator actions. Will have to shop around to see if they are separately available.

Hello again,

the Automator actions cannot be bought separately; they are only available
as part of either the Standard or the Special Media edition.
