Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word is a word processor developed by Microsoft.

This covers how to load Word documents into a document format that we can use downstream.

Using Docx2txt

Load .docx using Docx2txt into a document.

In [2]:

!pip install docx2txt

In [3]:

from langchain.document_loaders import Docx2txtLoader

In [5]:

loader = Docx2txtLoader("example_data/fake.docx")

In [6]:

data = loader.load()

In [7]:

data

Out [7]:

[Document(page_content='Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', metadata={'source': 'example_data/fake.docx'})]

Using Unstructured

In [8]:

from langchain.document_loaders import UnstructuredWordDocumentLoader

In [2]:

loader = UnstructuredWordDocumentLoader("example_data/fake.docx")

In [3]:

data = loader.load()

In [4]:

data

Out [4]:

[Document(page_content='Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.', lookup_str='', metadata={'source': 'fake.docx'}, lookup_index=0)]

Retain Elements

Under the hood, Unstructured creates different "elements" for different chunks of text. By default we combine those together, but you can easily keep that separation by specifying mode="elements".
