How to parse

[KINGSABRI]

Hello guys
How to parse a docx file, edit and add more paragraphs?

Thanks

Hey @KINGSABRI, openxml-package supports reading Office Open XML files but since we haven't implemented parsing in openxml-docx yet, the parts it returns will be unparsed XML files. You can scrape them (like you might a web page) using Nokogiri, but you can't yet interact with and manipulate them using the Object Model.

Thanks @boblail , I've a report template at work and it's pretty rich of objects and details. parsing it as an xml is really hard.

I've tried to build it from scratch using openxml-docx but it seems even harder.

Currently, I'm using docx gem, to parse and edit the document but it's no longer maintained. So I had to change and fix some bugs and use my fork.

I hope we find a convenient way to do such a task.
