Hello.
I am trying to use the search and replace-function in MS Word. (Office
2003, XP and Activestate Python 2.3). It works great until I use
non-english letters.
>>> from win32com.client import Dispatch
>>> objWord = Dispatch("Word.Application")
>>> objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open('c:/foo.doc')
>>> objSelection = objWord.Selection
>>> en = u'Kan man gjøre dette?'
>>> to = u'Nå tryner det skikkelig'
>>> objSelection.Find.Execute(en, False, True, False, False, True, True,
1, True, to, 2, False, False, False, False)
gives the errormessage:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
File "<COMObject <unknown>>", line 2, in Execute
com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, 'Microsoft Word', 'The
Find What text for a Find All Word Forms search can only contain
alphabetic letters.', 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft
Office\\OFFICE11\\1033\\wdmain11.chm', 25090, -2146822678), None)
I have also tried:
en = en.decode('latin-1')
and
en = en.decode('utf-8')
but it still gives me the same error. If I type the sentences directly
into Word, it works as a dream. How can I get around this problem?
Thanks in advance.
