[python-win32] MSWord: Server Busy

[Fabricio Guzman]

How about trapping the error with a try block:

bWorked = false

while bWorked == false
   try
      wordApp.ActiveDocument.PageSetup.TopMargin = 5
      bWorked = true
   catch 
        

it's not pretty but it will try and try until the
server is finished initializing.
