I used to work at a place where one of their test machines generated a cert in Microsoft Word with test results. They were having their lab technicians manually type in something like eight fields of information to flesh put the cert. I managed to hack together a Word VBA plus Python script to interface with the OpenOffice database I had set up so the techs only had to type in one field, and the script filled in the rest.
It was kind of a monstrosity under the hood, but it worked pretty slickly, and given the available tools I was glad the option existed.
Scripting is great in Excel, but I’ve never encountered or heard of a use for it in Word.
