Launch Automator and in the template chooser, select Folder Action and click Choose. In the workflow area that appears, drag the Convert to B&W folder to the pop-up menu that appears at the top of the window—the one that reads Folder Action Receives Files and Folder Added To. Now go to the Files and Folder library and drag Get Folder Contents into the workflow area. Now choose the Photos library and drag in Apply Quartz Composition Filers to Image Files. You’ll be prompted to add a folder to copy your converted images to. Word for macintosh.
Choose to add it and an action will be inserted between the two you’ve created. Into this action drag your Converted folder. In the Apply Quartz action, choose Black and White from the pop-up menu.
