Office automation

Does anybody have any resources for (lack of a better term) “productivity tools” for an office job? I've got a pretty standard 9-5, and there's an awful lot of repetitive emails. I know that email templates in general exist, but the tedious part is actually filling in information from the specific instance I'm looking it. I am NOT tech savvy, and am an absolute beginner, so im looking for ELI5 levels of answers. Is there: A) a way for me to automatically pull some information from the instance (web page), and use that to automatically draft an email?; and B) not use some external program for it, or need weird root access or anything? It's a corporate computer on a network, and I guarantee I won't be able to use anything other than what is natively on the machine. It would mostly be outlook and excel that I have to…


Does anybody have any resources for (lack of a better term) “productivity tools” for an office job?

I've got a pretty standard 9-5, and there's an awful lot of repetitive emails. I know that email templates in general exist, but the tedious part is actually filling in information from the specific instance I'm looking it.

I am NOT tech savvy, and am an absolute beginner, so im looking for ELI5 levels of answers.

Is there:

A) a way for me to automatically pull some information from the instance (web page), and use that to automatically draft an email?; and

B) not use some external program for it, or need weird root access or anything? It's a corporate computer on a network, and I guarantee I won't be able to use anything other than what is natively on the machine.

It would mostly be outlook and excel that I have to work with, and I don't think I should specify anything about the company, for privacy.

If there's not a simple, easy answer, is there at least somewhere that would have a more complete answer that I should start looking?

Thanks!
