I am working on a project where a tkinter application asks questions, and based on my input, edits a word file by replacing placeholder text with my entries. I have encountered an error where the 'Document' has no attribute 'write'.
If I search for anything other than a placeholder in my text, the script works, and I am presented with the windows. However, if my placeholder is in the text, the interpreter encounters a problem with what I assume must be that of writing over. I have recently re done my program using classes and I had it working before then. Am I missing something with the init function?
classes.py
from tkinter import *
from docx import Document
import os
os.chdir("\\Users\\Nick\Desktop")
doc = Document('TemplateTest.docx')
paragraphs = doc.paragraphs
class WebWindow:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
master.title("NAV Report")
self.label = Label(master, text="This is our first GUI!")
self.label.pack()
self.entry = Entry(master, text="Enter")
self.entry.pack()
self.close_button = Button(master, text="Close", command=master.quit)
self.close_button.pack()
self.submit = Button(master, text="Submit", command=self.WebsiteChange())
self.submit.pack()
def WebsiteChange(self):
for paragraph in doc.paragraphs:
if '^Websitename' in paragraph.text:
paragraph.text = self.entry.get()
print(paragraph.text)
doc.save(doc)
pass
print ("test")
root = Tk()
WebWindow(root)
root.mainloop()

The save argument needs to be the file name:
doc.save('TemplateTest.docx')
