You must mean Dispatch, or this import would fail.

Not for me: I just tried this very sequence on PythonWin and
it's working.  Windows98, Word97, and ActivePython (the one
that was built on Python 1.6b1 a while ago -- I don't have the
latest one built on Python 2.0b1, yet).

Sorry, no idea what 'version 9' means (Word95, Word97, Word2000?).
What Python & win32com levels are you using?  On what Windows
like operating system?  Not sure this wil help, since I do not know
where that message could come from, though...
