I did a book with WP and periodically went through with codes revealed to delete any junk and got the camera-ready copy I wanted. I have recently used OpenO modeled after MSO and occasionally get frustrated when I cannot see what it actually inserts, to explain why it does not behave as expected. That aside, if you are on Windows, check the list archives for 'office automation' or somesuch. If WP has the standard API, I believe the answer is to use the PythonWin extensions, included with the ActiveState Python distribution and available on SourceForge. There is a windows module includes in the stdlib, but I do not know if it has enough. -- Terry Jan Reedy
