Edit DOCX In Python

Edit text in DOCX using Python

Programmatic modification of DOCX documents is an integral part of modern digital workflow. Edit text in DOCX, insert graphs using external data, modify tables.

Python library is a stand-alone solution to edit DOCX that doesn't rely on other software. It's ready for commercial use covers all possible needs of professional Python developers:

Modify existing DOCX elements: tables, lists, charts, images, links, fields, etc.
Modify DOCX styles and formatting attributes
Add new DOCX elements
Search DOCX for text patterns and replace them with new text
Save the result to a variety of file formats using 'Document.Save' method
Remove unwanted DOCX elements (paragraphs, pages, sections, chapters)

Change DOCX in Python

Python DOCX programmatic editor provides developers with a modern API to edit DOCX programmatically. Quickly integrate DOCX modification features into your software. Our library supports the modification of a variety of document formats in Python.

The task of editing DOCX programmatically in Python is the task of modifying elements in the DOCX document tree. It is also known as the 'DOM' - the programming model for interacting with DOCX document elements and their properties.

Edit DOCX in Python

DOCX modification features are inseparable from the advanced DOCX search functionality. For a hig level of flexibility, our Python library provides developers with DOCX Regex-based search functionality. This approach expands the possibilities to edit text in DOCX files, allowing the use of templates for dynamic DOCX transformation.

Edit table in DOCX using Python

One of the most requested features is the dynamic creation and modification of tables in DOCX documents. Working with tables is very convenient with Python library: edit tables, update tables and extract table text using Python.

The following example demostrates how to modify a DOCX document in Python:

Example in Python to edit DOCX files

Input file

Upload a document you want to modify

Run code

				
import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("Input.docx")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert text at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.writeln("Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.")

doc.save("Output.docx")

import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("Input.docx")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert table at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.start_table()
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write("Row 1, cell 1.")
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write("Row 1, cell 2.")
builder.end_table()

doc.save("Output.docx")

import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("Input.docx")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert image at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.insert_image("Image.png")

doc.save("Output.docx")
