Can anyone help how to open microsoft word file in python 3 using open statement

Answer 1

Microsoft Word documents are not plain text files, so you can't simply use `open` command for that like you would open a text file.

A quick search on the net for this topic lead me to a conclusion that a module is needed to do the task. I will leave you with the related links resulted from the search
