python-docx

I want to set a style to a corrected word in MS Word text. Since it's not possible to change text style inside a run, I want to insert a new run with new style into the existing paragraph... for p in document.paragraphs: for run in p.runs: if 'text' in run.text: new_run= Run() new_run.text='some new text' # insert this run into paragraph # smth like: p.insert(new_run) How to do it? p.add_run() adds run to the end of paragraph, doesn't it? Update The best would be to be able to clone run (and insert it after a certain run). This way we reproduce the original run's style attributes in the new

I have one folder called "Test_Plan". It consist multiple docx files and each docx file has multiple tables. My question is how can I read the whole docx files and give the output? For example, all docx files has multiple tables, I'm picking one docx file and give the output like (i.e) Total Number of Tables: 52 Total Number of YES Automations: 6 Total Number of NO Automations: 5 Like this I need to automate the whole number of files in that "Test_Plan" folder. Hope you understand my question. My code for read tables from single docx file: #Module to retrive the word documents from docx import

In this post @mikemaccana describes how to use python-docx to extract raw text data from an MS Word document from within python. I'd like to go one step further. Instead of simple extracting the raw text information, can I also use this module to harvest information about font face (e.g. bold versus italic) or font size (e.g. 12 versus 18pt). The closest I was able to come was this post asking about using this module to extract highlighted text entries. Seemed a little abstract, and I'm not totally sure what's going on here. Is there a more straightforward way to extract formatting information

I have a document (template) with the following string: "Hello, my name is Bob. Bob is a nice name." I would like to open this document using python-docx and use "find and replace" method (if exists) to change every single string "Bob" -> "Mark". At the end I would like to generate a new document with a string "Hello, my name is Mark. Mark is a nice name." How can I do that? from docx import * TEMPLATE_FILE = 'test_template.docx' class generate_docx: @staticmethod def test(): document = Document(TEMPLATE_FILE) body = document.xpath('/w:document/w:body', namespaces=nsprefixes)[0] body = replace

I want to highlight text in docx and save it another file. here is my code from docx import Document def highlight_text(filename): doc = Document(filename) for p in doc.paragraphs: if 'vehicle' in p.text: inline = p.runs # print(inline) # Loop added to work with runs (strings with same style) for i in range(len(inline)): # print((inline[i].text).encode('ascii')) if 'vehicle' in inline[i].text: x=inline[i].text.split('vehicle') inline[i].clear() for j in range(len(x)-1): inline[i].add_text(x[j]) y=inline[i].add_text('vehicle') y.highlight_color='YELLOW' # print (p.text) doc.save('t2.docx')

I'm trying to create a table that looks like this, using the python-docx module. Working from the example code for creating a table in example-makedocument.py and reading through the code in docx.py, I thought something similar to this would work: tbl_rows = [ ['A1'], ['B1', 'B2' ], ['C1', 'C2' ] ] tbl_colw = [ [100], [25, 75], [25, 75] ] tbl_cwunit = 'pct' body.append(table(tbl_rows, colw=tbl_colw, cwunit=tbl_cwunit)) however this corrupts the docx document, and when Word recovers the document the table is shown as this: How can I get a row to properly span multiple columns using python-docx?

I'm trying to make table like this: As you can see, the header is vertically orientated. How can I achieve this using python-docx? P.S. Sorry for non-translated table. Snippet for those who are too tired to seek: from docx.oxml import OxmlElement from docx.oxml.ns import qn from docx.table import _Cell def set_vertical_cell_direction(cell: _Cell, direction: str): # direction: tbRl -- top to bottom, btLr -- bottom to top assert direction in ("tbRl", "btLr") tc = cell._tc tcPr = tc.get_or_add_tcPr() textDirection = OxmlElement('w:textDirection') textDirection.set(qn('w:val'), direction) # btLr

I am writing to an .docx file using python docx library. I want to prespecify the font size and color of a paricular sentence. My problem is that I am not able to do it simultaneously. Let me illustrate - from docx import Document from docx.shared import Pt #Helps to specify font size from docx.shared import RGBColor #Helps to specify font Color document=Document() #Instantiation p=document.add_heading(level=0) p.add_run('I want this sentence colored red with fontsize=22').font.size=Pt(22) #Specifies fontsize 22 p.add_run('This line gets colored red').font.color.rgb=RGBColor(255,0,0)
