What is an Automator Action?
Automator is an application that comes with your Mac as part of the Mac OS X operating system. You'll find the Automator application in your Applications folder along with your other applications. You can build Automator actions that add additional capabilities to many applications, including Microsoft Office 2011 (except for the Home and Student edition).
