2.Before start automating

What is "automate"?

Though I repeated saying, "automate", what is it? Simply say, it is to make computers doing your routine jobs.
Computer is very useful for deskwork, but there still remains troublesome works. Because, the computer system isn’t perfect any time, and that often forces you to do same works, bother deskwork, routine jobs.
If you automate these works, you have a lot of benefits.
Though how? Although it is seemed very difficult to automate Windows, the reality is just simple. You write down those bother works or movements into a script and execute it. Your computers automatically do your bother works according to the script which you wrote.

Need "automate"?

Toward the question that there is a need of automating computers, I do think "YES, there is". Do you want to repeat every day in the office, in front of your computer, to click same place, enter a same words, do a series of same processes, or access same web sites every 1 hour to get a data?
I strongly recommend you to automate these bother jobs without doubt.

What works should we automate?

What are bother jobs concretely? These vary from person to person.
For example, when you repeatedly have to post the same report of your works on your company's message board(BBS), do you run a browser, visit the BBS, fill the forms, and click "send" button every time?
With macro, all can be realized by 1 click.
For example, when you have to make same files but it's names or contents are all bit different, do you make it or rename it one by one? Do you install software only to generate similar files or change the name of files?
When you have to make a graph or a report in your work every day, isn't it troublesome to visit a same web sites or to read a mail where some parts; date, title, number are changed every time.
These also can be realized by 1 click with macro.
Even the data are always different, if the way of doing is fixed, macro can help you. And not only these things, with your imagination, there are many ways of uses.
Except creative works; writing an original sentence, composing a music or drawing a picture, almost of computer jobs can be automated.

What can we get from automating?

Automating Windows must give you benefits..
Firstly you can save the time. Automated computers run very quickly without useless movements.
And you are liberated from the tired repeating works. Programmed works have sureness, so you don't have to do hundreds times of copy & paste or click no more.
That's all? No. While computer run automatically and do your jobs, you can do other creative works. Finally, automation of computers doesn’t help only you but also your friends, coworker or other persons. Those scripts can be run anywhere, if the soft is installed in the computer.
