title: Reading Custom Document properties in MS Word File using python
body: <p>How can I get the document properties of a MS-Word 2010 Document using python?</p>
  
  <p>with document properties i mean those who can be added or modified under FILE -> Info-> Properties-> Advanced properties (In MS-WORD 2010)</p>
  
  <p>I'm using python 2.7 on windows764bit and the corresponding pywin32com version to access the doc-file...</p>
  
  <p>I found the  <strong>CustomProperty</strong>-object with the methods <strong>value</strong> and <strong>name</strong> witch seem to be the right thing for my purpose (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb257518%28v=office.12%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb257518%28v=office.12%29.aspx</a>) </p>
  
  <p>But I dont know how to implement the class members in python...</p>
  
  <p>the thing i want to do is to get manually specified properties like author, version...</p>
