Mr. Roberts, Thanks for the assist. As I am not an expert at this, yet, it's a bit difficult knowing where to start looking for the information.
Actually, I have most of the text processing portion of the code down, and omitted it from my, earlier, post so as to not overwelm the message. I wish there was some sort of pictorial object, property, hierarchy for python-win32 somewhere as it may be a great assist to newbies to visually see what objects and properties go where. I think Java used to have something similar, at least I saw something like that in the late 90s. I never would have imagined, that inserting the break would be done from the *rng* section, as demonstrated here: *rng.InsertBreak( win32.constants.wdPageBreak )* I was totally off thinking that it would be done from doc section as show here: *doc.PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount (2)* I tried using python-win32's help system's, search feature and search for insert but did not see any suggestions could up. Anyways, I appretiate the suggestions.

If you are going to be doing a lot of this, then unfortunately you really need to become an expert in looking for needles in haystacks. The process of coming up with Python code This, I think, does what you were trying to do: import win32com.client as win32 word = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application') word.Visible = True doc = word.Documents.Add() doc.PageSetup.TextColumns.SetCount (2) # Paste a bunch of text. rng = doc.Range(0,0) rng.Text = "Lots and lots of words. " * 200 # Collapse the range so we point at the end. rng.Collapse( win32.constants.wdCollapseEnd) # Insert a hard page break. rng.InsertBreak( win32.constants.wdPageBre ak ) # Insert more words. rng.Text = "More words.

I know the machanism with urllib, but there is no regular way to add attachments. Actually i do following: app = "Outlook" mailObj = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("%s.Application" % app) mail = mailObj.CreateItem(win32com.client.constants.olMailItem) mail.Recipients.Add("mail (at) domain.de") mail.Subject = "Subject" mail.Body = "Body Msg" mail.Attachments.Add('c:/temp/file.txt') But there are Systems, which don't use MS Outlook. Is there a way to access the standard mail application. Regards, Steffen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How would you do that with urllib? > But there are Systems, which don't use MS Outlook. > Is there a way to access the standard mail application. There is no "standard mail application". Lots of Windows systems (and most servers) don't run a mail application at all. You can try using MA PI; most of the popular mail apps support that The COM dispatch is "Mapi.Session". There are even some Python samples on using MAPI. However, to be completely general, you need to use smtplib to send to an external mail server. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:23:12 +0200 From: Steffen Fr?mer <steffen.froe...@gns-systems.de> To: python-win32@python.org Subject: Re: [python-win32] Accessing standard Mail-application Message-ID: <4e177540.4020...@gns-systems.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; Format="flowed" On 07/08/2011 10:16 PM, Tim Roberts wrote: > Steffen Fr?mer wrote: >> i tried to access standard mail application to write a mail. >> I know the machanism with urllib, but there is no regular way to add >> attachments. > How would you do that with urllib?

This is no option, because there is noch smtp-server withouf authentication and we need to send mails from different users. > Regards, Steffen -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The documentation is less than helpful, although that may well be attributed to my newbishness over their lack of documentation. So suppose I decided to embed, say, Google Chrome into my program, to utilize its printing capabilities. How would I go about doing that? :3 I've never had to embed a browser in my code before...
