  • What sort of image is it? is it a link in the docx? –  Feb 08 '21 at 17:59
  • Check out the solutions in this answer, especially the first one: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24813382/1902513. What is happening is that _reading_ `paragraph.text` gives you only the text in the paragraph (skipping over any images) but _setting_ `paragraph.text` replaces _all_ the content of the paragraph, including both text and inline images. The proposed `paragraph_replace_text()` function acts with much more precision. – scanny Dec 22 '21 at 21:38

Save into the same name (ie: doc.save('abc.docx')) is likely to fix your problem.

Or you could do a copy of your file (eg: shutil.copy('abc.docx', 'result4.docx')) before editing it with docx.
