Shows how to remove the first and last rows of all tables in a document.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + "Tables.docx")

tables = doc.first_section.body.tables

self.assertEqual(5, tables[0].rows.count)
self.assertEqual(4, tables[1].rows.count)

for table in tables:
    table = table.as_table()

    if table.first_row is not None:
        table.first_row.remove()

    if table.last_row is not None:
        table.last_row.remove()

self.assertEqual(3, tables[0].rows.count)
self.assertEqual(2, tables[1].rows.count)

Shows how to combine the rows from two tables into one.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + "Tables.docx")

# Below are two ways of getting a table from a document.
# 1 -  From the "tables" collection of a Body node:
first_table = doc.first_section.body.tables[0]

# 2 -  Using the "get_child" method:
second_table = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.TABLE, 1, True).as_table()

# Append all rows from the current table to the next.
while second_table.has_child_nodes:
    first_table.rows.add(second_table.first_row)

# Remove the empty table container.
second_table.remove()

doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Table.combine_tables.docx")
