Can't get row.cells from table object
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to iterate over tables to get the text from each of the cells, but after getting the rows of the table and iterating over each row, row.cells is throwing an exception:
docx.oxml.exceptions.InvalidXmlError: required <w:tblGrid> child element not present
I’ve looked in document.xml file and noticed that it doesn’t have w:tblGrid. Is this incompatible? Or is there another way I can get to the values of each cell? The hierarchy is: w:tbl -> w:tr -> w:tc -> w:p -> w:r -> w:t <- this is where the value is in the first cell of the first row
I’m just trying to figure out if this file I’m parsing is compatible or not.

Glad you got it working 😃
What I did was open with Word and select “Open and Repair”. Then saved as new file and fix the issues. Thanks for the tip. I diffed the original file and new file (document.xml) and there are tons of differences. So I’ll have to take a look at the doc gen code we use and see how to apply the latest schema. Thanks for the help
