I think (and it's a guess) that the order of params isn't what
you think it is. Frankly, it looks right, but playing around
a bit with named params is both more readable, and seems to
give the right results. I experimented a bit with your code,
and even my own name (which uses nothing outside standard ASCII)
gave the same error.
The following code seems to work:
<code>
import win32com.client
word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("Word.Application")
constants = win32com.client.constants
doc = word.Documents.Open ("c:/temp/test.doc")
doc.Content.Find.Execute (
FindText=u'Kan man gjøre dette?',
ReplaceWith=u'Nå tryner det skikkelig',
Replace=constants.wdReplaceAll
)
</code>
