Release History

0.8.2 (2015-02-16)

  • Fix #94: picture prints at wrong size when scaled

  • Extract docx.document.Document object from DocumentPart

    Refactor docx.Document from an object into a factory function for new docx.document.Document object. Extract methods from prior docx.Document and docx.parts.document.DocumentPart to form the new API class and retire docx.Document class.

  • Migrate Document.numbering_part to DocumentPart.numbering_part. The numbering_part property is not part of the published API and is an interim internal feature to be replaced in a future release, perhaps with something like Document.numbering_definitions. In the meantime, it can now be accessed using Document.part.numbering_part.

0.8.1 (2015-02-10)

  • Fix #140: Warning triggered on Document.add_heading/table()

0.8.0 (2015-02-08)

  • Add styles. Provides general capability to access and manipulate paragraph, character, and table styles.

  • Add ParagraphFormat object, accessible on Paragraph.paragraph_format, and providing the following paragraph formatting properties:

    • paragraph alignment (justfification)

    • space before and after paragraph

    • line spacing

    • indentation

    • keep together, keep with next, page break before, and widow control

  • Add Font object, accessible on Run.font, providing character-level formatting including:

    • typeface (e.g. ‘Arial’)

    • point size
