I search the API , but i didn’t find method do it, I need set table size and width and height and color and so on.

What you need to do is open a document in your Document() call, not just use the default.

1. Create a blank document in Word and save it as ‘template.docx’.
2. Customize one of the table styles in ‘template.docx’ to look the way you want.
3. Create a new table while still in Word, and apply the customized table style to it
4. After that you can delete the table and save the file again.

After that you start a new document in python-docx using document = Document('template.docx') and it will use the file you customized. The table style you customized will be available to apply to tables you make with python-pptx. The table style name is the same as it is in Word, with all spaces removed. For example, ‘Light Shading - Accent 1’ becomes ‘LightShading-Accent1’.

You have to set it using Document object which contains all the styles. https://python-docx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/styles-understanding.html#table-styles-in-default-template Like this

document = Document() table.style = document.styles[‘Table Grid’]
