[Guy Lateur] | I want to make a temporary file (directory listing), open it | in Word to let | the user edit, layout and print it, and then delete the temp file | afterwards. I don't think we'll be able to fully automate it, | though. The | user should be able to set her own fonts and stuff.
Haven't tried the technique myself, but this post http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/4ea1a92c2c3a4664 looks like it might do what you're after. In essence, you use CreateProcess to run Word (which is a bit messier than the other techniques described, but gives you a bit more control), and then you use the handle that passes back to determine when it's finished.
