Word Automation

Automate common Word/WPS document operations on Windows via COM (read text, replace, insert, headings, headers/footers, page breaks, merge, split, export to PDF/TXT, add/replace images). Use for single-document actions (no batch).

WPS/Word Automation (Windows)

Use the bundled Python script to control Word or WPS via COM.

Requirements

• Windows with Microsoft Word or WPS Writer installed.
• Python + pywin32 (python -m pip install pywin32).

Quick start

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py read --input "C:\path\file.docx"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py replace --input "C:\path\file.docx" --find "旧" --replace "新" --save "C:\path\out.docx"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.docx" --format pdf --output "C:\path\out.pdf"

Commands

read

Extract plain text.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py read --input "C:\path\file.docx" --output "C:\path\out.txt"

replace

Find/replace text.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py replace --input "C:\path\file.docx" --find "old" --replace "new" --save "C:\path\out.docx"

insert

Insert text at start/end.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py insert --input "C:\path\file.docx" --text "Hello" --where start --save "C:\path\out.docx"

headings

Apply Heading 1/2/3 to matching lines.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py headings --input "C:\path\file.docx" --level 1 --prefix "# " --save "C:\path\out.docx"

header-footer

Set header/footer text.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py header-footer --input "C:\path\file.docx" --header "标题" --footer "页脚" --save "C:\path\out.docx"

page-break

Insert a page break at the end.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py page-break --input "C:\path\file.docx" --save "C:\path\out.docx"

merge

Merge multiple docs into one.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py merge --inputs "a.docx" "b.docx" --output "merged.docx"

split

Split by page ranges (e.g., "1-3,4-6").

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py split --input "C:\path\file.docx" --pages "1-3,4-6" --outdir "C:\out"

export

Export to PDF or TXT.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.docx" --format pdf --output "C:\path\out.pdf"
python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py export --input "C:\path\file.docx" --format txt --output "C:\path\out.txt"

image

Add or replace image at the end.

python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_word_automation.py image --input "C:\path\file.docx" --image "C:\path\img.png" --save "C:\path\out.docx"

Notes

• If WPS is installed, try --app wps; otherwise default uses Word.
• Use --visible true if you need to watch the UI.
• Avoid batch usage; this skill is for single-document operations.
