CREATING TABLES IN WORD DOCUMENT USING PYTHON-DOCX: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

In this article, we will discuss how to create tables in a Word document using
the Python-docx library. This guide will cover key concepts and provide detailed
context on the topic. We will include subtitles, paragraphs, and code blocks to
help you understand the process better.


INTRODUCTION

Python-docx is a popular library used to handle Word files in Python. It allows
users to create, read, and edit Word documents easily. In this tutorial, we will
focus on adding tables to a Word document using the add_table() method.


ADDING TABLES SUBHEADING

To add a table to a Word document using Python-docx, we first need to create a
new document or open an existing one. Once we have the document object, we can
add a table to it using the add_table() method.


CREATING A TABLE

To create a table, we need to specify the number of rows and columns we want in
the table. We can do this by passing two integers as arguments to the
add_table() method. For example, to create a table with 3 rows and 2 columns, we
can use the following code:

from docx import Document

# Create a new document
doc = Document()

# Add a table with 3 rows and 2 columns
table = doc.add_table(3, 2)



ADDING CONTENT TO A TABLE

Once we have created a table, we can add content to it by accessing its cells.
Each cell in a table is represented by an object, which we can use to add text
or other content. We can access a cell by specifying its row and column number.
For example, to add text to the first cell in the table, we can use the
following code:

# Add text to the first cell
table.cell(0, 0).text = 'Cell 1'



FORMATTING A TABLE

Python-docx also allows us to format a table, such as changing its border,
shading, and cell margins. We can do this by accessing the table's style
property and modifying its properties. For example, to change the table's border
to solid and black, we can use the following code:

# Change table border
table.style = 'Table Grid'


In this article, we have discussed how to create tables in a Word document using
Python-docx. We have covered key concepts, such as creating a table, adding
content to it, and formatting it. By following this guide, you can easily add
tables to your Word documents using Python-docx.
