Fun, right? ]import docxĭoc = docx.Document('C:\\Users\\Desktop\\TestCopy.docx')ĭoc.tables.cell(num,1).text = str(num)ĭoc.tables.cell(num,0).text = 'This is another cell'ĭoc.save('C:\\Users\\Desktop\\TestCopy.docx') How to Iterate through Every Cell in a TableĪ slightly more useful thing to be able to do is going through ever cell in an existing table. But it shows how a while loop could be plugged in for table automation. Here’s a thing you will never ever have to do. That looks like this:Ī Completely Impractical Example for Reference You can retrieve the contents of a cell from the Python shell by using the print function, but I was more concerned with how to edit the text in the cells.
Python recognizes that split cell as it’s own new column or row and shifts everything over. Immediately after seeing this, I thought to myself–what happens if you split a cell in a table? How does it keep count?
Keep in mind, Python starts counting at zero, so to call up the first table in your document and print out whatever’s in the first cell, you’ll have to write something like this: print((0,0).text) Once that’s done we can reference the tables by index number. doc = docx.Document('Filepath to the Document') Just pop it into something called doc for now. We need to get the document we’re editing into a variable to make the script readable. There may be people out there who can look at this Table objects page and completely understand what’s happening.īefore we get started, some housekeeping. I think I’ve mentioned it before that the Python documentation can be really confusing for beginners.
