Split WORD Python

Split Word in Python

This software library provides Python developers with a set of functions to split Word files into parts. Splitting a Word document into separate files can be used to make it easier to work with sections of a document in parallel. For example, if several people are working on one Word document at the same time, splitting it will allow them to speed up the work. The Word document splitting may be part of a technology for extracting text from Word files and integrating data into automated information systems or databases.

Our library provides Python developers with all the necessary functions to split Word files into parts and extract pages according to the specified mode. This is a stand-alone Python via .NET solution that does not need Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader or other applications installed.

Split Word document into parts using Python

Split Word content using different criteria in Python code. You can use the following page extraction modes for Word documents: 'split by headings', 'split by sections', 'split page by page', 'split by page ranges'.

After splitting your Word file into parts, you can export the result to the required file format using the 'Document.Save' method. You can also control how the Word document parts are exported to HTML or EPUB using the 'DocumentPartSavingCallback' property, which will allow you to redirect output streams.

Split Word documents easily with our solution for Python via .NET. The following example shows how to split a Word document using Python:
