[python-win32] a trivial question

[Vernon Cole]

*self*.doc.Tables(1).Cell(row,2) is not a string, and therefore has no
.split() method.
str(*self*.doc.Tables(1).Cell(row,2)) returns a string, so it does have a
split() method and therefore
str(*self*.doc.Tables(1).Cell(row,2)).split() is correct, but
str(*self*.doc.Tables(1).Cell(row,2).split()) is not.  Note the different
position on the double parens ))
