Modify docx page margins with python-docx

I need to quickly change the margins of many docx documents. I checked python-docx and I do not find a way to access/modify the page layout (in particular the margins) properties. Is there a way?

Solution

  • Thanks to @tdelaney for pointing out the page where it clearly indicated the solution. I am just posting here the code I used in case anyone else is confused as I initially was:

    #Open the document
document = Document(args.inputFile)

#changing the page margins
sections = document.sections
for section in sections:
    section.top_margin = Cm(margin)
    section.bottom_margin = Cm(margin)
    section.left_margin = Cm(margin)
    section.right_margin = Cm(margin)

document.save(args.outputFile)
