OK, The first question that springs to mind is "How are you accessing 
the Word and Excel files?
They are not a native format that Python can easily read so you need 
some kind of library to work with them. Do you already have such a 
library or do you need to find one?

The same applies for writing to Excel, you need a library to do that. Do 
you have one already?

Also which Python version are you using?
I'll assume you are running Windows since it is Word and Excel based?

Your attachments didn't show up. Can you put them on a web site somewhere?
