Tips & Limitations

• Formatting Precision: While python-docx offers extensive formatting options, achieving pixel-perfect replication of complex Word features might require iterative adjustments. Start with basic formatting and gradually add complexity.
• Image Handling: Ensure images are in a compatible format (e.g., PNG, JPG) and accessible to the script. You can specify image dimensions for better control.
• Error Handling: Complex documents or malformed inputs can lead to errors. It's good practice to test with simpler scenarios first.
• Existing Documents: When editing existing documents, be aware that the skill primarily adds content or modifies specific elements. Extensive structural changes to complex existing documents might be challenging.
• File Paths: Ensure any file paths provided for images or existing documents are correct and accessible within the execution environment.
