Hello,<br><br>I have written this small script, which is (part of an application that is) supposed to open a MS Word Document and manipulate it (do a search and replace) .<br>I am getting a weird exception when I try to run the script.<br>
It says <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">TypeError: expected clr.Reference, got str</span> for the line where I try to open the file.<br>But the same script runs fine on a colleague's computer .<br>
I
couldn't figure out what his computer has that mine doesn't.So I
thought of asking what are the necessary things (libs, dlls) that are
needed to Open/Work on MS Word File from Iron Python.<br><br>MS Excel
interaction works fine in my computer though. I have Office 07, MS
Visual Studio 05, .NET Framework 2.0 installed in my computer. I have also verified that Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word version 12.0.0.0 is found registered in the Assembly Cache. <br><br>This issue has become a Show-stopper for the Application I am working on.<br>
So, any helpful suggestions or directions would mean a lot !<br><br>Thanks !!<br><br><br><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Script :</span><br><br>import clr<br>import System<br><br>clr.AddReference("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word")<br>
