docx-mailmerge 0.0.1

Performs a Mail Merge on docx (Microsoft Office Word) files

Installation with pip:

$ pip install docx-mailmerge

Usage

Read the file.

from mailmerge import MailMerge
document = MailMerge('input.docx')

List all merge fields.

print document.get_merge_fields()

Merge fields, supplied as kwargs.

document.merge(field1='docx Mail Merge',
               field2='Can be used for merging docx documents')

Write document to file. This should be a new file, as ZipFile cannot modify existing zip files.

document.write('output.docx')

Todo / Wish List

• Make it easier to work with repeating blocks. This is currently supported, but somewhat cumbersome to work with.

• Preserve formatting of the merge field, currently it defaults to the formatting of the containing text.

• Image merging.
