I do some MSWord programming -if i may call it this way- through Python. I am doing well so 
far, but the first time I set a margin to a Word document I get a "server busy" message whic
h floads away after ~15 secs. This occurs only to the first Word document that i open. If i 
open a second Word document this "server busy" message will no longer appear.

After lots of search and tests I have concluded that i must set the clsctx parameter to my D
ispatch object which I created in order for my script to wait until the Word Automation Serv
er is initialized. 

I do the Dispatch as follows:

wordApp = Dispatch("Word.Application")

But, I think i must do it like this:

wordApp = Dispatch("Word.Application", clsctx = [clsctx value] )

I have found some values that clsctx accepts (such as: CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER = 2 ) but when 
I set them to the Dispatch (example: Dispatch("Word.Application", clsctx = 2) I get a "No su
ch interface supported".

So, my question, is there any proper way to make my script wait until the Word Automation Se
rver is initialized to avoid getting the "Server Busy" error message?

p.s.This "Server Busy" error message only appears in Win98.

Best Regards
