Word2000 to wxPython conversion....

I've made a small utility which converts the content of a Microsoft
Word2000 document to wxPython code.

For some time I've used wxPython in small projects. I always have to
look up old examples when writing 'sizer' code, and I tend to spend
quite some time before getting it correct.

Some time ago I was going to implement a copy of a MFC based dialog in
wxPython. The MFC dialog did not have dynamic sizing. In order to
identify how the sizers should be implemented in wxPython, I ended up
drawing a "grid" identifying the various sizers. Then the idea of
using tables in tables was quite apparent, and the result is the
word2wx.py script and a small class-layer on top of wxPython.

Utility can be downloaded from http://www.micon.no/PythonPage.asp

Any comments / help on improving coding (in particular the parsing
system which is rather ad-hoc) will be appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
