I automated Excel and other specific COM app at work with `npm i winax`. Word should be similar. There’s a few gotchas with reference counts and MS’s idiotic out-of-process behaviors, but otherwise it works.
LibreOffice cannot open even simple documents correctly ime, but ymmw.
In case the “user approval” isn’t a part of COM connection, I’d look for headful word instead with an AHK/etc script triggering it.
- bredren 2y agoCan you go into more detail on the problems you had with LibreOffice opening documents correctly? In my comparisons for page numbering for generated elements like table of contents etc. it seemed to work pretty well.
