Finding Word and switch focus to it

[Hughes, Chad O]

The first part is easy. I will have to think about the second part. To
find an opened copy of Word and switch focus to it do the following:

from win32com.client import Dispatch
word = Dispatch('Word.Application')
wdWindowStateNormal = 0
if len(word.Documents):
  word.Activate()
  if word.WindowState != wdWindowStateNormal:
    word.WindowState = wdWindowStateNormal

Does anybody know how to find an opened copy of Word and switch focus to
it, wait until Word is closed, before continuing my Python script? I
tried to search for the answer from Google and nothing stands out.

Running under Windows XP.

Thanks,
