    <p>I would like to generate a word file using python that has all the formatting generated by MS Word.</p> <p>Please suggest any python modules that can help me achieve this.</p> <p>Code tried for example:</p> <p>Downloaded pywin32-218.win32-py2.7 from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/</a> for import win32com.client and trying following example.

    3. COThat's not enough: at least you could have found some Python software that writes .doc files and tried it. Your current question is not really a question but it comes across as "show me the code".

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
