[python-win32] Pythonwin - Word automation - Removing watermark not working

[Gregory Piñero]

Hi everybody.  I originally sent this question to the main Python list to have it be met with roaring silence ;-)

Someone there suggested I try this group instead.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

-Greg

I thought I'd take a shot and see if anyone knows the answer to this?  I've been stuck for a while now on this.

Would anyone happen to know why this my function removewatermark() in this code isn't working?  I copied it from a Word macro I recorded and it did work when I recorded the macro.  When I run it the watermark doesn't go away.

I've also attached the code in case the formatting gets messed up from the email.


<code>
import sys
import os
from win32com.client import gencache, constants
WORD='Word.Application'
False,True=0,-1

class Word:
    def __init__(self):
        self.app=gencache.EnsureDispatch(WORD)
        self.app.Visible = 1
        self.app.DisplayAlerts = 0
    def open(self,doc):
        self.app.Documents.Open(FileName=doc)
    def removewatermark(self):
        self.app.ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Range.Select()
        self.app.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = 9 # wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
        self.app.Selection.HeaderFooter.Shapes("PowerPlusWaterMarkObject1").Select()
        self.app.Selection.Delete()
        self.app.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = 0 #wdSeekMainDocument
</code>


Thanks,

Greg
