Accessing?Microsoft?Word?with?Python?follows?the?same?syntax?that?we?used?for?Excel.?

Let’s?take?a?quick?look?at?how?to?access?Word.

from?time?import?sleep
import?win32com.client?as?win32RANGE?=?range(3,?8)def?word():word?=?win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')doc?=?word.Documents.Add()word.Visible?=?Truesleep(1)rng?=?doc.Range(0,0)rng.InsertAfter('Hacking?Word?with?Python\r\n\r\n')sleep(1)for?i?in?RANGE:rng.InsertAfter('Line?%d\r\n'?%?i)sleep(1)rng.InsertAfter("\r\nPython?rules!\r\n")doc.Close(False)word.Application.Quit()if?__name__?==?'__main__':word()

This?particular?example?is?also?based?on?something?from?Chun’s?book?as?well.?However,?there?are?lots?of?other?examples?on?the?web?that?look?almost?exactly?like?this?too.?Let’s?unpack?this?code?now.?To?get?a?handle?on?the?Microsoft?Word?application,?we?callwin32.gencache.EnsureDispatch(‘Word.Application’);?then?we?add?a?new?document?by?calling?the?word?instance’s?Documents.Add().?If?you?want?to?show?the?user?what?you’re?up?to,?you?can?set?the?visibility?of?Word?to?True.

If?you?want?to?add?text?to?the?document,?then?you’ll?want?to?tell?Word?where?you?want?the?text?to?go.?That’s?where?the?Range?method?comes?in.?While?you?can’t?see?it,?there?is?a?“grid”?of?sorts?that?tells?Word?how?to?layout?the?text?onscreen.?So?if?we?want?to?insert?text?at?the?very?top?of?the?document,?we?tell?it?to?start?at?(0,0).?To?add?a?new?line?in?Word,?we?need?to?append?“\r\n”?to?the?end?of?our?string.?If?you?don’t?know?about?the?annoyances?of?line?endings?on?different?platforms,?you?should?spend?some?time?with?Google?and?learn?about?it?so?you?don’t?get?bit?by?weird?bugs!

The?rest?of?the?code?is?pretty?self-explanatory?and?will?be?left?to?the?reader?to?interpret.?We’ll?move?on?to?opening?and?saving?documents?now:

#?Based?on?examples?from?http://code.activestate.com/recipes/279003/
word.Documents.Open(doc)
word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs("c:\\a.txt",?FileFormat=win32com.client.constants.wdFormatTextLineBreaks)

Here?we?show?how?to?open?an?existing?Word?document?and?save?it?as?text.?I?haven’t?tested?this?one?fully,?so?your?mileage?may?vary.?If?you?want?to?read?the?text?in?the?document,?you?can?do?the?following:

docText?=?word.Documents[0].Content

And?that?ends?the?Python?hacking?lesson?on?Word?documents.?Since?a?lot?of?the?information?I?was?finding?on?Microsoft?Word?and?Python?was?old?and?crusty?and?didn’t?seem?to?work?half?the?time,?I?don’t?add?to?the?mess?of?bad?information.?Hopefully?this?will?get?you?started?on?your?own?journey?into?the?wild?wonders?of?Word?manipulation.
