This brief tutorial contains information on how to create a table in Word using Python. A detailed set of instructions is provided to establish the environment, develop a program using the step-wise process, and a runnable sample code for creating table in MS Word using Python. You will also learn the process to format the individual cells of the table if required and save the resultant Word file as a DOCX, DOC, or any other MS Word-supported format.

Steps to Create a Table in MS Word using Python

1. Set the environment to use Aspose.Words for Python via .NET to insert a table in Word
2. Instantiate the DocumentBuilder class object for adding a table
3. Start a table by using the DocumentBuilder class object and insert a cell with some text in it
4. Insert another cell with an image in it
5. End the row and table using the respective methods
6. Save the output Word file having a table in it

These steps explain how to insert tables in Word using Python. The DocumentBuilder class object supports starting a table, inserting a cell, writing contents to a cell, adding an image to a cell, and finally marking the end of a row and a table. Once the contents are filled in the table, it is saved as a Word document using the save() method in the DocumentBuilder.Document class object.

Code to Create a Table in Word Document using Python

This code demonstrates how to make a table in Word using Python with the help of the DocumentBuilder class object. This DocumentBuilder class has features to format the cells before adding them to a table by using the cell_format object to set width, vertical_alignment, shading.background_pattern_color, wrap_text, and fit_text. Similarly, you can set rows format using the row_format object in the DocumentBuilder by setting the properties like height_rule, height, borders.line_style, and borders.color.
