Thanks for your suggestion, Tom. Yes.I think it's an auto-number paragraph. How can I auto programatically
save the word file in Python? The manual save means I
copy and paste to a wordpad file, right?

If you have
auto-numbered paragraphs then I’d guess the numbers are generated by Word
as part of formatting the text for display and aren’t part of the literal
text of the document.
Could you
programatically or manually save the Word doc as plain text and analyse the
text file? That will get you the paragraph numbers as text (at least it worked
for me just now in a quick test on Word 2003) and might solve your table issue
as well.

You are reading
the Word document just fine. The issue is printing it
to your
terminal. The document contains Unicode characters that aren't
present in your
terminal's font. You need to tell it how to handle the
conversion from
Unicode to 8-bit. Try this:
print doc.Content.Text.encode('cp1252','replace')
That will print ?
where invalid characters are found.
U+F06D is not a
valid character. It's in the "private use" area, so
it's possible
this is some special code to Word.

I do have VS6,

Thanks. It works.
Actually, what I want to do is to parse the whole document. How can I retrieve
the list of words in the
document? I use
the following code:
for word in
doc.Content.Text.encode("cp1252", "replace"):
??? print word
It seems that
word is each a character. How can I find API to process words in an open word
document. Thanks.

The document
contains Unicode content that can't be rendered directly as the encoding cp1252
(Windows-1252) used by your console when you use the print statement.
You can always
write the content to a file in UTF-8 or UTF-16 and then view the file in a
program like notepad that can handle Unicode.?I'm not sure if there's any way
to get the Windows console to produce actual Unicode.
If you absolutely
must print this in the console, you can always substitute out unknown
characters. ?
print
doc.Content.Text.encode("cp1252", "replace")
Hope this helps,
Preston

No, what you are
getting back is a Python string. When you enumerate
through a string,
you get characters. This is basic Python.
If your words are
all separated by spaces, you can use split:
for word in
doc.Content.Text.encode("cp1252","replace").split():
print word
Note, however,
that you don't need to convert it to an 8-bit character
set until you
want to print it. If you are going to process these
words, then you
might as well leave them in Unicode.

Thanks. I just
find that all item numbers such as 1.1.1 are gone. How can I get these numbers.
Also, If all items are in a table, how can I get the contents of all items and
ignore the table structure. Thanks.
