[IronPython] word Automation

[Anthony Tarlano]

Hi,

Yes it should work, but I don't have the correct assembly to be able to test 
it.

You should remember that you should just translate the code from VB to 
IronPython. IronPython is a dynamically bound language, so you don't have to 
do things like declaring the local variable oWord (i.e. 'oWord = 
wordApp.ApplicationClass') 

In python an variable object is bound to a type upon assignment to an Rvalue 
object

If you tell me how to get the assembly having "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word" 
I will try it out for you and post back the code snippet.
