Excel, Word, and Modern UserForms — Announcing My New Platform


Over the years I’ve shared Excel tips, automation tools, and problem‑solving posts across my old site www.excel-it.com and on forums like OzGrid, ExcelForum, MrExcel and others as royUK. It’s been a long time since those early days, but the work has never really stopped — it’s just been happening quietly in the background. I have been taking a break from forums, but I feel that my time has been well spent and I have taken my work to a higher level, producing many innovative tools including truly modernised userforms – even a round splashscreen!

Alongside my Excel work, I’ve also been moving into Word development, currently building an improved mail merge system with a cleaner workflow and a more modern interface. It’s been exciting to take the same design principles I’ve used in Excel and apply them to Word automation.

I’ve now launched a new website www.excelchemy.com to bring everything together in one place. This will be the home for my current projects, new tools, and the kind of practical fixes and walkthroughs I’ve always enjoyed sharing.

From here on, I’ll be posting short updates, announcements, and quick explanations — with links back to Excelchemy where the tools live and evolve. Think of this as the central hub for what I’m working on now and what’s coming next.

If you followed my work in the past, welcome back. If you’re new, I hope you find something here that makes your day-to-day work a little easier. More updates coming very soon.
