添加行后表格样式消失

Question

I'm using python-docx to populate a word template that I have The problem is that, I want to apply a particular style to a table I have The table exists already and I'm just extending it like this:

document = Document(path_to_my_docx)
table = document.tables[0]
row = table.add_row()
row.cells[0].text = "amrouna "

But when I add the row, it outputs this the row containing amrouna is the row I added I read in the python docx documentation, that styles won't apply unless they already exist in the document which is the case here, isn't it? because my table is already styled before I even load/modify it Does anyone know how to either:

1. keep the style from changing when adding a row
2. Apply the same style to the table once everything is finished

Answer 1

If you replace the text of the cell object, it will override any styling applied to the table/row/cell/etc. What I found out after much struggle w/ something similar, is that you have to replace the text of the run within the paragraph , within the cell .

row.cells[0].paragraphs[0].runs[0].text = "amrouna "

This will preserve the styling from my limited experience... Hopefully it works for you as well.
