If you need a good, easy to use proxy, I was recommended this one, and having used ScraperAPI for a while I can vouch for them. If you were going to sign up anyway, then maybe you would be kind enough to use the link and the coupon code below?

You can also do a full working trial first as well, (unlike some other companies). The trial doesn't ask for any payment details either so all good! 👍

Hello,
I am creating my word document out of Jupyter Notebooks and it is not saving anywhere. I do not see on the documentation whether python-docx supports Jupyter but it executes without an issue/error. I have searched my files as well. Would you have any insight?

Note: Thank you for the video! Everything was easy to follow

Thank you for this video which is just what I was looking for. I am running the program in replit on an iMac. The demo.docx file won't open from within replit and when I download it, I get this error message: "Word found unreadable content in demo.docx. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." When I try to recover the contents I get this error message: "Word experienced an error trying to open the file.
Try these suggestions.
* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
* Make sure there is sufficient free memory and disk space.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter.
(demo.docx)"
Any ideas why it's not working for me? I have Microsoft Office installed.

Thanks! If u don't mind, installing lxml doesn't work on macOS => error: legacy-install-failure.

I have also been using python-docx-template to create a new document based on an existing document. The document already contains content in a specific layout and I want to jump to a number of bookmarks and place content there. Is there any way to do this?

[jhillyt]

Great info. Do you have anything for parsing word doc?
Thanks for sharing

Hi, I used jinja for creating doc template and now I can generate the doc with the required updates. But I doubt how to add configurable parameters in the template? and how can I add different headers and fonts as per user requirements at the time of doc generation by using old template?
