I carried over this taxonomy to the TechNet Script Center Script Repository. When I first started the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog, one of the first projects I spent a lot of time working on to describe the blog posts was Developing a Script Taxonomy. Because of this, the structure of all my blog posts is relatively consistent. I use Windows PowerShell to create all of my individual Microsoft Word documents, based on a template that my editor, Dia Reeves, created for me. When your data is consistent, you have a fighting chance of solving a particular issue. But because I use Windows PowerShell so much to do so many things, I am at least consistent. It seems like I am not very good at anticipating future needs-at least exact needs. I am making a couple of presentations, as are a couple of Microsoft premier field engineers, and even a Microsoft Windows PowerShell MVP. We are running three tracks (Beginner, Applied, and Advanced), so there is sure to be something there for everyone. At this point, there are still plenty of tickets available, but the last PowerShell Saturday sold out in 13 days, so you will want to register quickly for this event to ensure you have a place. The registration site for Charlotte, North Carolina PowerShell Saturday is open. Now for the second piece of exciting news. I think you will enjoy them-I know I am having fun writing them. The postings will appear midday Pacific Standard Time. I call it PowerTips, and each day, I will have an additional posting of a short Windows PowerShell tip, trick, or question and answer. Exciting news-actually two pieces of exciting news.

Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.

See Aspose.Words Programmers Guide, Utilize Aspose.Words in Other Programming Languages (sorry I can't post a second link, stackoverflow does not let me yet).Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, discusses using Windows PowerShell to search a directory structure for Word documents that contain a specific phrase. So you could end up writing your own document processing library. You can of course load it into an XML DOM tree (not sure what this will be in Python) and ask to get text only as a string, but you could end up with many other 'dead ends' just because the OOXML spec is around 6000 pages long and MS Word can write lots of 'stuff' you don't expect. So you will end up dealing with XML like this even if formatting does not change in the middle of the phrase! But it can be split at any point and that is valid in OOXML. It will certainly be split if formatting is different, for example as in Hello World. A problem with searching inside a Word document XML file is that the text can be split into elements at any character.
