I've solved this problem myself.

In this case, using MSWord 2002, I should include two following lines
in my file:

from win32com.client import gencache
gencache.EnsureModule('{00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}',0, 8,
2)

They was received by running
makepy.py -i "Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Model"
as suggested in win32all documentation. This will install constants
support during runtime as far as I can understand.

Victor.
