customize numbering style

[joannahsu11]

I'm trying to use python docx to customize a numbering style when adding a paragraph in a word file.

For example, instead of just adding '1. ' in the beginning of a paragraph, I wanna do 'class #1. '

so I want my paragraph to be like: class #1. xxxx
instead of: 1. xxxx

Is it possible? How to do it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The short answer is "not easily". There is no API support for this in python-docx. This turns out to be a fairly complex problem. If you search Google on python-docx numbering style you'll find some odds and ends of folks that have gotten something working to various degrees.
