Re: [python-win32] filling in field in a Word doc?

I have been doing a lot of work with Word and pywin32, it is a nightmare (Especially with formatting). If you want to populate pre-defined fields then the easiest way I have found is to create a template document and fill it with bookmarks, then pretty much do this: document.Bookmarks("my_bookmark
