Subject: Tutorial on COM - get at your Office Data
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 99 20:17:13 GMT

This is the first release of my COM tutorial which I held
at the Seventh Python Conference.

It has not been updated since then, but might be helpful
as a head start for using COM and MS-Office.

You can either download a zip file (700k) or the .ppt file
itself (886k).

Required: Office97 with Powerpoint.

Highly recommended, if you didn't do so already:
Install Office with all options on, especially the developer
support. This gives you full Help info on VBA objects.
The tutorial shows you how to switch forth and back between
Python and Excel/Word/Access, to use its instant help
(control-blank etc.)

Netscape users: Netscape will ask you wether to save or start the
file, if you have Powerpoint installed.
MSIE users: Internet Explorer will give you the presentation in
its window.
