If you are dealing with Windows Office, then you will need to get started by downloading the pywin32 module. Pywin32 will allow you to interact with Office products. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywin32

If you need help installing, see this post How to install pywin32 module in windows 7

  • Thank you for the response and I will definitely look into the pywin32 and apiwin modules. I have already installed python 2.7 and have attempted to write code. I am stuck in trying to figure out which functions to use out of the many modules available. Do you have any resources for easy tutorials on how to discover and explore modules? – Raul Lemus May 10 '17 at 05:45
