How to extract textbox & flowcharts from Word( doc,docx) files using Python?

Question

I am preparing automation code to extract flow diagrams,shapes (non-image) along with text present inside them from word files(doc,docx).

I tried using rIds (relationship ids) to identify them with python but failed. Can anyone suggest better solution?

TIA

You can use the PyDocX library to convert the docx to html and then extract the images using the tags. The conversion is pretty good, you can give it a try

PyDocX.to_html(directory+'hey.docx')
