Register multiple self-made styles in Word at once

Although it is convenient, you can register all Microsoft Word styles with python, which is extremely troublesome to register.

Execution image

• Character-based styles are distinguished by background color + underline type
• Paragraph-based style is distinguished by background color + border color

• The table is distinguished by the color of the outer ruled line

code

As I wrote in Another article, I use pywin32 to process while looking at the currently open document (Word VBA constants are [here] Articles](see https://qiita.com/AWtnb/items/b2bcae6c9ab62b649b67, etc.).

By default, a new style is created based on "Formatting the paragraph where the cursor is at the time of execution". I'm having trouble if a large font is specified as the title at the beginning, so I used the "standard" style format as the standard.

Call from powershell

The following cmdlet is created and called from the main powershell. Of course, you can call it directly with python activeword_set-style.py.

function Set-MyStyleToActiveWordDocumentWithPython {
    if ((Get-Process | Where-Object ProcessName -EQ "winword").Count -lt 1) {
        return
    }
    $pyCodePath = "{0}\python_code\activeword_set-style.py" -f $PSScriptRoot
    'python -B "{0}"' -f $pyCodePath | Invoke-Expression
}
