I want to combine multiple docx file and save it in another docx file. I not only want to copy all the text, but also it's formatting(runs). eg. bold, italics, underline, bullets, etc.

If you need to copy the contents of just one docx file to another, you can use this

from docx import Document
from docxcompose.composer import Composer

# main docx file
master = Document(r"path\of\main.docx")
composer = Composer(master)
# doc1 is the docx file getting copied
doc1 = Document(r"file\to\be\copied.docx")
composer.append(doc1)
composer.save(r"path\of\combined.docx")

If you have multiple docx files to be copied, you can try like this

def copy_docx(main_docx, docx_list):
    master = Document(main_docx)
    composer = Composer(master)
    for index, file in enumerate(docx_list):
        file = Document(file)
        composer.append(file)
    composer.save(r"path\of\combined.docx")


main_docx = "path\of\main.docx"
docx_list = [r"path\of\docx1.docx",
             r"path\of\docx2.docx",
             r"path\of\docx3.docx"]

copy_docx(main_docx, docx_list)
