Here's a translation of this example:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178795(VS.80).aspx


import win32com.client
w=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application',0)
w.Visible=1
w.Documents.Open('somedocument.doc')
s=w.ActiveDocument.Sections[0]
s.Footers(win32com.client.constants.wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Text='I am a footer'
