Excel Scripts functionality not in Word/PowerPoint

Question

With the push in my employer to Excel Scripts whilst Blocking VBA across all Office (unless a Digital Signature is available) then there is a gap in document production/automation.

When could Scripts be rolled out to other Microsoft Office products as Power Automate is too high a level for the VBA functionality in Word/PowerPoint?

Answer 1

Thanks for the response and I will post on the link you provided as it is definitely a useful feature needed for document Templates, Proforma and for manipulation of database exports into a published report.

Answer 2

Dear respected Digby Williams,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, it is currently only available for Excel, but Microsoft is planning to extend it to other Office products in the future. However, there is no official roadmap or timeline for this yet.

As currently there is no any ETA for this release and there is no official announcement regarding its availability in other Microsoft Office products such as Word and PowerPoint.

As Microsoft get their attention is through the feedback mechanisms. I suggest submitting your feedback and feature requests through this link: Microsoft Word feedbackportal, platform. This platform allows users to suggest new features, which can help Microsoft prioritize future updates and improvements.

Microsoft product developers team monitor this site 24/7 and they will receive your request and put it into consideration.

Meanwhile, for new feature availability you may also keep visit on Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad
