Comment 1 for bug 836574

Technically speaking, we could try to use Automator utility on Mac OS X:
- It is an utility to automate repetitive tasks on Mac OS X
- Office for Mac contains some Automator tasks for Word/Excel/PowerPoint
- these tasks are in Mac Office 2008 "Professional" and 2011 (both editions)
- Issues with Mac Office on Lion: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2586538
