Python and Word

[Alex K. Angelopoulos]

FYI, Anthony, I know your problem was actually syntax, but there is one other
thing you should know... that's actually inherited from the Word object model.
Anytime you dig underneath an object declared with

    win32com.client.Dispatch('x')

you are actually dealing with things internal to the object.

The good side of that is that the object model documentation from the OEM
contains details on it (in the case of Microsoft Office apps, the VBA help files
for the objects may have detailed info).  The bad side is that the docs are not
always complete or correct, which may leave you relying on information
autogenerated by Python.
