Macros an Office Application Generator

Abstract

Computer facilities, such as small business computers and computer terminals, are now almost ubiquitous in offices, thanks to the recent advances in computer and communication technologies, and more and more people have been accustomed to using these facilities to assist in their office activities. These situations create an opportunity and demand for the office system construction. However, just the presence of facilities and people who use them does not mean the realization of an office system. There must be office software, wide varieties of office application programs, which bridge computer facilities and people in offices. The key to the office system construction is to provide a wide range of office software which can become part of office activities and can be used easily by office workers. However, it is quite difficult to attain this, because there are few ready-made office application packages which can fit into office activities. Also, there are very few tools for designing, developing, and maintaining desirable office application programs.
