How To Run MS Word Add In?
We have a requirement to automate a process that has a Word add-in that needs to run to clean up some documents during the process flow. We need to open the MS Word document, send some keystrokes to get the add-in loaded, navigate to the right section of the add-in, configure the add-in's options and run the add-in to perform its work before we save the document and continue with the rest of the workflow. How do we load and run an add-in via Pega?
A screen shot of what the add-in in question (only one of the screens shown) is attached.

sadly , the ribbon and other button functionality can not be automated by THE WORD CONNECTOR,
but , try with below approach -
- use document OCR , start MS-Word as a windows application (Application path = Word.exe path ), then pass try to interrogate with Screen OCR functionality.
- Try the direct functionality with c# code , and use the code in script method in Pega Robotics.
simplify your process to get the desired input
