How to insert bookmark in Word using Python (win32com)?

Question

I am using win32com, how can I insert a bookmark with an existing text in the Word Document ?

Answer 1

Here you go:

import win32com.client
wordApp = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application') # alternately DispatchEx
wordApp.visible = True                                 # alternately False or leave out
wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open('c:/my_word_doc.docx')
myRange = wordDoc.Content
myRange.Find.Execute(FindText='peanuts')
myRange.Bookmarks.Add(Name='X')
wordDoc.SaveAs('c:/my_word_doc.docx')
wordDoc.Close()
wordApp.Quit()

If you don't want Word to be visible during this process use win32com.client.DispatchEx and don't set wordApp.visible to True.
