I want to be able to programmatically add line numbers to the entire document. I stumbled upon python-docx which allows me to fiddle with .docx files in python. However, I was unable to successfully add line numbers to my document using the extension using the following code:

from docx import Document
from docx.oxml.shared import OxmlElement

document = Document('sample.docx')

sections = document.sections

for section in sections:
 sectPr = section._sectPr

 lnNumType = OxmlElement('w:lnNumType')
 lnNumType.set('countBy', '1')
 lnNumType.set('start', '1')
 lnNumType.set('restart', 'newSection')
 sectPr.append(lnNumType)

document.save('sample-output.docx')

When I open the generated sample-output.docx in Word, the line number does not show up. Yet when I convert the file to xml, I can see that <w:lnNumType w:count-by="5" w:distance="282.9954" w:restart="continuous"/> has been added to the document. Within the <w:wordDocument> and <w:body> xml tags.

I am not too sure if this is a problem with my code or with the way .docxs work that is causing this problem.

Hopefully, someone can help me out here or suggest other ways to do this.

  The problem is that the command for line numbering needs to be in the document's section area, not in the document body: <w:sectPr>...<w:lnNumType>...</w:sectPar> Note that the element order is sometimes very strict in this area - it depends on what comes before and after. I recommend you create a sample document as a user, activate line numbering, save it, then inspect the XML.
