View Discussion Show Improve Article Save Article View Discussion Improve Article Save Article Prerequisites: docx Word documents contain formatted text wrapped within three object levels. Lowest level- run objects, middle level- paragraph objects and highest level- document object. So, we cannot work with these documents using normal text editors. But, we can manipulate these word documents in python using the python-docx module. Python docx module allows user to manipulate docs by either manipulating the existing one or creating a new empty document and manipulating it. It is a powerful tool as it helps you to manipulate the document to a very large extend. You can also add and manipulate tables using this module. To add a table we will use add_table() method as it will add a table in the word document.
First, we will save all the data in a list then we will create a table object with values of rows = 1 and cols = 2. Then we will add the headings in the table. After that, we will use .add_row() method to add a row then we will add the data in it. Table can only take a string as an input in its cells, so we have to convert the data into string if it is not. InstallationPip command to install this module is: pip install python-docx Approach
