Working with Forms in MS Word

[Greg Lindstrom]

Greetings-

I have been asked if I can populate existing Forms in a Microsoft Word
Document. I have the book Python Programming on Win 32 (Hammond/Robinson)
which addresses Microsoft products, but it does not address forms. Has
anyone attempted this? And if so, would you pass along your knowledge?

Thanks!,

Hi,

I tried to use Word via com and python's win32 module,
but it did not work well for me. (The Python module was
good, but not the office programm)

You can save ms-office documents as XML. This format
can be read and changed on any plattform. It was enough
for me to solve my problems. Maybe this helps you, too.

HTH,
Thomas
