In my word file I have
My first paragraph
My second paragraph
Third paragraph
Fourth paragraph
fifth paragraph
My Code
from docx import Document
from docx.enum.text import WD_BREAK
document = Document('E:\\world\\2.docx')
paragraphs = document.paragraphs
paragraphs[2].runs[-1].add_break(WD_BREAK.LINE)
document.add_paragraph('new para between existing one ')
document.save('E:\\world\\2.docx')
After the execution I get
My first paragraph
My second paragraph
Third paragraph
Fourth paragraph
fifth paragraph
new para between existing one
But I want output as
My first paragraph
My second paragraph
Third paragraph
new para between existing one
Fourth paragraph
fifth paragraph
You need to insert the paragraph instead of adding it. See this documentation for reference. Also more info about paragraph objects here.
Note, you might need to change the [5] I used depending on the actual contents of the .docx you're editing.
from docx import Document
from docx.enum.text import WD_BREAK
document = Document('E:\\world\\2.docx')
paragraphs = document.paragraphs
paragraphs[2].runs[-1].add_break(WD_BREAK.LINE)
paragraphs[5].insert_paragraph_before('new para between existing one ')
document.save('E:\\world\\2.docx')
