How to Split Pages in Word using Python

This short tutorial is written to explore how to split pages in Word using Python with the help of detailed steps and a runnable sample code. All the necessary classes and methods are introduced and used in the runnable sample code to clarify the process. You can split Word document using Python in a variety of ways like page-wise as demonstrated in this tutorial and then save each page as a separate DOCX or DOC file as per your requirement.

Steps to Split Word File using Python

  1. Configure your IDE to use Aspose.Words for Python via .NET
  2. Load the Word source file into the Document class object for splitting into pages
  3. Get the count of the loaded file pages
  4. Enumerate through each page to extract it as a separate document
  5. Save each extracted page as a separate word document

These steps guide to split Word document into separate files using Python by sharing the programming logic and the resources required to be included in the project. First, you may load the source Word file into the Document class object that contains the different properties like page_count used here and the methods to extract one or more pages as per the requirements. In the final step, all the pages of the document are iterated one by one and saved into the supported file format.

Code to Split DOCX using Python

To extract pages from Word document using Python the Document class object is used that contains a number of overloaded constructors that support loading the Word file from disk or stream, allow setting the warning callback for error handling, setting progress callbacks for monitoring, providing the password for protected files, and encoding properties to name a few. You can extract pages one by one or in groups starting from a particular page as well.

This tutorial has guided us to split Word file into multiple files using Python. If you want to learn the process to create a Word file from scratch refer to the article on how to create Word document using Python.
