Working with Highlighted Text in Python .docx Module
Prerequisites: docx
Word documents contain formatted text wrapped within three object levels. The 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. Pip command to install this module is:
pip install python-docx
Python docx module allows users 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 highlighted text in your Word document.
To add the highlighted text you have to first create a paragraph object then you have to use add_run() method to add content. You can directly use add_paragraph() method to add a paragraph but if you want to add the highlighted text you have to use add_run() as all the block-level formatting is done by using add_paragraph() method while all the character-level formatting is done by using add_run().
