How to display a document with picture and allows hyperlinks in python on a UI?

Question

I am trying to display a .docx document on my UI. Here's my code:

import tkinter as tk 

class viewers(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self,master = None):
        from main import a
        document = Document(a)
        super().__init__(master)
        self.master = master
        self.pack()
        T = Text(root,state='normal',height=15,width=60)
        T.pack()
        T.insert(END,open(a).read())
    def create_widgets(self):
        self.quit = tk.Button(self,text="QUIT",fg="red",command=self.master.destroy)
        self.quit.pack(side="top")

Please give us more details on what part of the program does not work the way it is expected to — Eshita Shukla, Feb 20 '19 at 15:53
A docx document is not a simple text document. You need to know its format in order to decode it. — acw1668, Feb 20 '19 at 16:50

You can't display a docx file in tkinter. You'll have to parse the document yourself, and use the features of the text widget (eg: configurable tags) to reproduce the document. It will be unlikely you'll be able to accurately reproduce the formatting, but you can get reasonably close for simple documents that are mostly text.
