Python docx page break

Question

Answer 1

There is 2 types of page breaks in word documents, soft and hard. Soft break are not not detectable and hard page break.

Here is a good post about it https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53084249/python-docx-identify-a-page-break-in-paragraph#:~:text=There%20is%20no%20way%20to%20detect%20soft%20page,you%27ll%20find%20a%20more%20elaborate%20explanation%20of%20this .

Answer 2

As I understand it, a docx paragraph consists of runs, and some of those runs are or contain a page break. (I don't know the data model, so I don't know whether 'some runs are' or 'some runs contain' is correct.)

This other answer on Stack Overflow says that it is possible to detect whether a run is/contains a soft page break .

Hopefully you can use that to determine whether your text is before or after the soft page break. I hope this helps.
