I don't understand. You have docx.api available, so you can replace
the "simulation" part of my example with just these two lines:
from docx.api import Document
document = Document('/Users/xxx/Documents/xxx/Clauses Sample - Copy v1 - for
merge.docx')
I should work -- it's just that I cannot be sure it will work because I could
not test it.
