How Can I run python script from word add-in?

Hi @YaoZong Wang (汪耀宗)

It looks like you can invoke python utilizing VBAs Shell function (as seen in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3815340/running-python-scripts-from-ms-office). I don't believe there is a Microsoft Word Add-in that can do this so you may have to resort to the script below.

Sub RunExternalProg()  
  
    Dim return_value As Double  
    return_value = Shell("C:\PathToPython\pythonw.exe C:\my_script.py", vbHide)  
    Debug.Print return_value  
  
End Sub
