This guide explains how to create a macro in Word using Python. You will get details to set the IDE, a list of steps, and a sample script demonstrating coding with VBA using Python. All the necessary classes, methods, and properties will be discussed that are required for working with a macro in a Word file.
Steps to Create a Macro Enabled Word Document using Python
- Establish the environment to use Aspose.Words for Python via .NET to create a macro in MS Word
- Start by creating a new Word document to work with
- Attach a VBA project to this document so it can hold macros
- Give the project a meaningful name
- Create a new VBA module for the actual macro code
- Define the module’s type and add a simple macro that shows a message box saying hello
- Add this module to the VBA project
- Save the document as a macro-enabled Word file so the macro can run when opened
This set of instructions defines the process for working with VBA for Word using Python. Set up Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and create a new Word document with an attached VBA project. Add a named module containing a simple “Hello” macro, then save the file as a macro-enabled document so the code can run when opened.
Code for VBA Programming using Python
This example demonstrates the coding with VBA using Python in a macro-enabled Word file. The VbaProject class provides features to access the protection status, code page, and the collection of the VBA modules. The VbaModule class represents a single VBA module inside a Word document’s macro project, letting you set its name, type (e.g., procedural, class), source code, and clone it.
