How to iterate over everything in a python-docx document?

Question

I am using python-docx to convert a Word docx to a custom HTML equivalent. The document that I need to convert has images and tables, but I haven\'t been able

Answer 1

Assuming doc is of type Document, then what you want to do is have 3 separate iterations:

• One for the paragraphs, as you have in your code
• One for the tables, via doc.tables
• One for the shapes, via doc.inline_shapes

The reason your code wasn't working was that paragraphs don't have references to the tables and or shapes within the document, as that is stored within the Document object.
