Problems with Python for Windows extensions

[Kartic]

Hi,

Invoking Execute as shown below works.. I have no explanation why your 
VB to Py converted code did not work.

wdFindContinue = 1
objSelection.Find.Execute('Contosa', False, True, False, False, True, 
True, wdFindContinue, True, 'Fabrikam', wdReplaceAll, False, False, 
False, False)

This finds 'Contosa' and replaces all occurances with 'Fabricam'.

For a full explanation about the arguments to Execute, look it up in the 
VBA Help.

Thanks,
-Kartic
