Can Nintex run a Macro in a Word Document?

We are currently developing Nintex workflows to manage our document review and approval processes.

Two key steps in this process involve:

Open Word Document, Turn On Track Changes, Add Watermark ‘Draft’, Save
Open Word Document, Accept and Turn Off Track Changes, Delete all Comments, Remove Watermark ‘Draft’, Save

Can you please advise if Nintex can do complete these actions.

We were initially thinking it would be possible to put together a VB Macro and have Nintex run this.

Although my option requires a little more analysis, you could:

Add a column on your library named "RunMacro"

Start your macro when the document starts and verify if "RunMacro" = Yes, and run your named commands

The Nintex Workflow should have the rules/actions you need to set the "RunMacro" column
