REALbasic Increases Office User Productivity, Automates Office ApplicationsAUSTIN, Texas (May 18, 2004)— REAL Software, Inc. announced today that a demo version of REALbasic 5.5 is included on the new Microsoft® Office:Mac 2004 CD.
“Anyone familiar with VBA programming for Microsoft Office can benefit from using REALbasic,” states Sean Arney, of Rules Software, who uses REALbasic in addition to VBA and C++ to create Office automation software.
“The central theme of my projects is to gather and display data or organize and distribute complex sets of documents, all by automating functions in Microsoft Office,” adds Arney. “REALbasic eliminates the complexity associated with distributing my applications. I don’t have to worry about the versioning of dependent files or adding system-level components to make sure things work right. REALbasic makes the whole process easier.”
REALbasic is a powerful, easy-to-use development tool that enables users of all levels to create custom applications. As such, REALbasic can easily incorporate data from a database or from web services and display it in Office. Also, using REALbasic produces standalone applications that launch Office products as needed. So REALbasic users can share their REALbasic skills—along with their Office automation applications—with others on Windows and Macintosh.
“REALbasic provides the broadest set of capabilities for automating Microsoft Office 2004 for the Mac,” said Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software. “Automating repetitive functions saves time and automating complex tasks eliminates errors. As a result, using REALbasic can make Microsoft Office power users more productive overall.”
REAL Software also announced today that the company is shipping an update, REALbasic version 5.5.2. Microsoft Office users can get this latest version from the REAL Software website, at www.realsoftware.com/demo.
