These two lines connect to Word. The EnsureDispatch makes sure Word constants
work later:
>>> import win32com.client
>>> word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')
Then record a Word macro to do what you want (this was a find/replace all):
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "fox"
.Replacement.Text = "cat"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Then translate to Python:
>>> find = word.Selection.Find
>>> find.ClearFormatting()
>>> find.Replacement.ClearFormatting()
>>> find.Text = 'fox'
>>> find.Replacement.Text = 'cat'
>>> find.Forward = True
>>> find.Wrap = win32com.client.constants.wdFindContinue
>>> find.Execute(Replace=win32com.client.constants.wdReplaceAll)
True

Good morning,
I'm trying to write some Python code to programmatically do a Find and
Replace of a string within a Microsoft Word document.
Any suggestions on where I could look to find how to do such a function?
Thank you.
Urban Landreman
