I am trying to add a page break to the middle of a document using the docx-python library.
It would appear that when adding a pagebreak, the page break is added to the end of the document. Is there a method to add a page break to a specific location?
This is my current code.
from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Inches
demo='gm.docx'
document = Document(docx=demo)
for paragraph in document.paragraphs:
if 'PUB' in paragraph.text:
document.add_page_break()
document.save('gm.docx')
Looking into this some more, if you press Shift + Enter in Word it adds a manual line break (not a paragraph) via appending Chr(11) . In Open XML, this translates to a Break.
Put your cursor where you want one page to end and the next to begin. Go to Insert > Page Break.
Win32com → work with MS Word .doc files Despite the ease of use, the python-docx module cannot take in the aging . doc extension, and believe it or not, . doc file is still the go-to word processor for lots of stakeholders (despite the . docx being around for over a decade).
Breaks of their various forms appear at the Run
level:
http://python-docx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/text.html#run-objects
So something like this should do the trick:
from docx.enum.text import WD_BREAK
for paragraph in document.paragraphs:
if 'PUB' in paragraph.text:
run = paragraph.add_run()
run.add_break(WD_BREAK.PAGE)
