About DocTools and Word Add-Ins – the person and the story behind

My name is Lene Fredborg. I established DocTools in 2006.

Until I retired in April 2026, I developed professional Word templates and efficient tools for Word in the form of add-ins. In addition, I provided consulting services in all areas related to Microsoft Word.

I have been working professionally with Word and have been programming add-ins and macros in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for more than 30 years.

Since I started DocTools, I have developed customer-specific solutions in the form of Word templates, add-ins and VBA macros for private companies as well as the public sector in Denmark and foreign countries, primarily the USA.

Until my retirement, I made several Word add-ins available to Word users in general via this website, helping users to improve productivity and work more efficiently in Word. The add-ins are no longer available. In addition, I have developed a lot of add-ins for my personal use. I have been using many of my add-ins every day and they have helped med me work far more efficiently and be a lot more productive than I could have been without those add-ins.

The main website of DocTools is thedoctools.com. Via that website, I also provided access to a lot of free macros and Word tips in English and Danish, content that I had developed over many years. That website still exists. Unfortunately, it has not been possible for me to keep all that content available.
