I don't know what you mean with the last sentence - but I still think 
VBA is the answer. There is no other way to write a plugin or some such 
for word than using COM, and VB *is* COM. So whatever you can do in 
Word, it's exposed in VBA. Bringing python into the mixture is just 
creating a lot of hassle.

Automating word with Python is a different thing - that seems to be 
popular and powerful.
