I am not a programmer, but this past week I have had a crash course in python scripting am have been rather impressed with myself for having written a fairly complicated script that among many other processes reads a database table via SearchCursor, populates a word template via Bookmarks, then saves the document out as a PDF.
The only problem is that it only works on my computer. When I move the script to another computer with the same setup, I continue to receive a Com_error. The script fails at my SaveAs(out_TOC, FileFormat=wdFormatPDF) statement. I have tried both win32com.client and comtypes.client and receive a similar error for both. win32.client: com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, u'Microsoft Word', u'Command failed', u'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\ \1033\\WDMAIN11.CHM', 36966, ), None) comtypes.client: COMError: (-2146824090, None, (u'Command failed', u'Microsoft Word', u'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\1033\\WDMAIN11.CHM', 36966, None)) It has been suggested that I try python-docx, but I have not been able to get the module to work for me and I have been unable to find any documentation on it. Can anyone help with the com errors? What do they mean? How do I resolve them? Any help would be appreciated. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
