Word Template Filler Skill

Fill/edit Word .docx templates on Windows via win32com COM automation — preserves ALL formatting, images, underlines, page breaks, and table layout.

Why win32com instead of python-docx

Requirements

• Windows with Microsoft Word installed
• pywin32 (pip install pywin32)

Quick Start

# Fill cover fields, append answers, add page breaks — all in one command
python {scripts}/word_template_filler.py template.docx report.docx ^
  --cover-field "所在学院:铁道工程学院" ^
  --cover-field "专业年级:车辆工程 2023级" ^
  --page-break-before "C2.转向架" ^
  --find-replace "。？:。"

Commands

All operations use the bundled scripts/word_template_filler.py CLI tool.

--cover-field / -c

Fill a cover page field (preserves underline lines).

--cover-field "label:value"

The label must exactly match the text before the colon (including spaces). The value is inserted before the underlined spaces, so the fill-in line remains.

--append-answer / -a

Append answer text after a question in a table cell.

--append-answer "TableIdx:Row:Col:question text||answer text"

Example: --append-answer "2:3:1:1、转向架的作用是什么？||1. 可相对车体回转..."

--insert-blank-para / -p

Insert text into a blank paragraph within a table cell (for sub-tables).

--insert-blank-para "TableIdx:Row:Col:Para1B:text"

Para1B = 1-based paragraph index within the cell. Use debug mode to find indices.

--page-break-before / -b

Insert a page break before a heading.

--page-break-before "C2.转向架"

--find-replace / -r

Find and replace text across the entire document (preserves formatting).

--find-replace "find:replace"

--set-time-score / -t

Set 实训时间 and 得分 fields in a section table row.

--set-time-score "TableIdx:time|score"

Example: --set-time-score "2:2026年6月|95"

--visible

Show the Word window during processing (for debugging).

Debug Mode

# First, kill any hanging Word processes
taskkill /f /im WINWORD.EXE

# Show Word window to watch the process
python {scripts}/word_template_filler.py template.docx debug.docx --visible

To find paragraph indices within a table cell, use this diagnostic snippet:

import win32com.client as win32
word = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')
word.Visible = False
doc = word.Documents.Open(r'path\to\template.docx')
cell = doc.Tables(2).Cell(4, 1)  # Table 2, Row 4, Col 1
paras = cell.Range.Paragraphs
for i in range(paras.Count):
    txt = repr(paras(i+1).Range.Text)[:80]
    print(f"  Para {i}: {txt}")
doc.Close(False)
word.Quit()

Known Pitfalls

这个 Skill 质量不错，文档写得很详细，小白也能快速上手。它通过调用 Word 软件本身来填充模板，能很好地保留原始格式、图片和下划线，不会出现乱码问题。不过它只能在 Windows 系统上使用，而且电脑必须装了 Microsoft Word 软件。总体来说，如果你经常需要批量处理 Word 文档表格，这是个值得一试的工具。
