Hello,
I am an experienced software developer with experience in script languages. My skills are: C/C++, Bash scripts, Java, Linux, Windows, Android,...
Your task looks interesting so I already devised a solution for you. I made a vbscript that you run by double clicking on it, after that message is prompted to enter zip file name. After that zip file is extracted and word file is ready to be edited. You can have more word documents inside one zip. Only thing is that script has to be in the same folder as zip file.
I am new to freelancer and I hope that you will choose me. Hope that my solution fits your needs.
Solution was developed in Windows 7 and tested with Office 2007. Disabling protection so you can edit file right away was tested with Office 2007. For 100% certainty that it will work with every Office I will have to test the solution with Office 2010.
Best regards,
ZMI
