Summary: Word9 unit conversion functions fail

Initial Comment:
The unit conversions functions of Word9 fail with an 
exception. Here is an example using CentimetersToPoint:

>>> app.CentimetersToPoints
<bound method _Application.CentimetersToPoints of 
<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Word 9.0 Object 
Library._Application instance at 0x20221704>>
>>> app.CentimetersToPoints(1.0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "win32com\gen_py\00020905-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046x0x8x1.py", line 14423, in 
CentimetersToPoints
    return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(371, LCID, 1, (4, 0), 
((4, 1),),Centimeters)
com_error: (-2147467259, 'Unbekannter Fehler', None, 
None)

A workaround for this problem was suggested some time 
ago (http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-
