Hmmm. The VB examples in the Word Object Reference give the best idea of how to play with Word documents. No further help required on this although I am still curious about why the python does not return the "real" objects and methods for the COM object.
Try doing it this way: <code> import win32com.client word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch ("Word.Application") help (word) doc = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch (word.Documents.Add ()) help (doc) </code> or just run the makepy util first.
