python-docx

I am going through the tutorial and documentation of python-docx . However, I can't find any reference to how I can specify and manipulate the border appearance of a table created in a Microsoft Word document. When i use the following code: from docx import Document from docx.shared import Inches document = Document() ################################ ################################ ################################ table = document.add_table(rows=1, cols=3) hdr_cells = table.rows[0].cells hdr_cells[0].text = 'Qty' hdr_cells[1].text = 'Id' hdr_cells[2].text = 'Desc' row_cells = table.add_row()

I have to retrieve tables and previous/next paragraphs from docx file, but can't imagine how to obtain this with python-docx I can get a list of paragraphs by document.paragraphs I can get a list of tables by document.tables How can I get an ordered list of document elements like this [ Paragraph1, Paragraph2, Table1, Paragraph3, Table3, Paragraph4, ... ]? python-docx doesn't yet have API support for this; interestingly, the Microsoft Word API doesn't either. But you can work around this with the following code. Note that it's a bit brittle because it makes use of python-docx internals that

I am using python docx library to manipulate a word document. However I can't find how to align a line to the center in the documents page of that library.

I am trying to insert numeric and bulleted lists into an existing Word document, however they are showing up as normal paragraphs: # Open up existing document document = Document('existing_document.docx') # Add style from example document temp_doc = Document() document.styles.add_style('List Number', temp_doc.styles['List Number'].type) # Add bullet points from example document p = document.add_paragraph() p.style = 'List Number' p.add_run('Item 1') p = document.add_paragraph() p.style = 'List Number' p.add_run('Item 2') # Save document.save('new_doc_with_list.docx') This results in 3

I am attempting to create a table with a two row header that uses a simple template format for all of the styling. The two row header is required because I have headers that are the same under two primary categories. It appears that the only way to handle this within Word so that a document will format and flow with repeating header across pages is to nest a two row table into the header row of a main content table. In Python-DocX a table cell is always created with a single empty paragraph element. For my use case I need to be able to remove this empty paragraph element entirely not simply

I am trying to extract text from headings(of any level) in a MS Word document(.docx file). Currently I am trying to solve using python-docx , but unfortunately I am still not able to figure out if it is even feasible after reading it(maybe I am mistaken).
