python-openxml | OpenXML library for Python : create .docx & .pptx files | Document Editor library

I run ubuntu 19, I tried some examples from #74 Github and Adding an hyperlink in MSWord by using python-docx, the hyperlink doesn;t seem to work in libreoffice or even Google Docs, is there a way of making it work on Google Docs and LibreOffice ?

I filed this as a python-docx issue: https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/issues/805 but was requested to open a discussion here.

https://python-docx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/styles-using.html implies that I should be able to change Heading font styles like this:

I have written a script using python-docx to search word documents (by searching the runs) for reference numbers and technical key words, then create a table which summarizes the search results which is appended to the end of the word document.

some of the documents are 100+ pages, so I want to make it easier for the user by creating internal hyperlinks in the search result table, so it will bring you to the location in the document where the search result was detected.

once a reference run is found, I don't know how to mark it as a bookmark or how to create a hyperlink to that bookmark in the results table.

I was able to create bookmarks to external urls using the code in this page Adding an hyperlink in MSWord by using python-docx

I have also tried creating bookmarks, I found this page: https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/issues/109

the title relates to creating bookmarks, but the code seems to generate figures in word.

I feel like the two solutions can be put together, but I don't have enough understanding of xml/ word docs to be able to do it.

Update: I found some code that will add bookmarks to a word document, what is now needed is a way to link to this using a link in the word document https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/issues/403

I can't figure out why the word "Delaware" does not get extracted from the code below. Every other character gets extracted. Can anyone provide code that extracts the word "Delaware" from the Docx file below, without altering the file manually?

QUESTION: How do I use the child object (below) to actually get the paragraph or table object?

This is based on the answer found here, which referenced docx Issue 40.

Unfortunately, none of the code posted there appears to work with commit e784a73 but I was able to get close by an examination of the code (and trial and error)

I have the following ...

I have the following code which I am using to save a table, modify the table, and then make a copy of the table. I got copy_table_after() from Here.

I am trying to find and replace text in a Textbox in Header of document. But after searching for awhile, it seems there is no way to access the content in the Header or "float" text boxes via python-docx (I read issue here)

So, it means we have to find and replace directly on the xml format of document. Do you know anyway to do that?

I'm using the python docx library and need to read data from tables in the document.

Although I'm able to read the data using the following code,

Hello I am currently trying to write a code that combines docx files. These files may have text, images, tables, or equations. The code aims to copy these objects and append them to a base docx. I am able to copy and merge text, images, and tables by using the docx module's 'add_picture' and 'add_paragraph' methods but I cannot do this for word equations. I decided to try to dig into the xml of the docx and copy the equation section from there. I am able to append equations to my base document but when I continue to append pictures, texts, and tables, these equations show up at the end of the docx. My questions are: why does this occur if I loop through the appended objects in the order I want them to appear and is there is a way to keep the code from putting the equations at the end of the docx.

Here is some overview of the code:

1. create base document:

   document=Document('basedoc.docx')

2. get list of sub-documents to append
3. start loop through sub-document list
4. for each sub-doc I iterate through and find the different parent and child objects. I found this function on this website called 'iter_block_items'(https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/issues/276) The document items are referred to as blocks.

5. For each block item of the sub-doc I categorize the type, style, and whether an equation is present or not:

   if isinstance(block, Paragraph):
