python docx-mailmerge портит форматирование документа

Question

Я использую библиотеку Python docx-mailmerge, которая действительно хорошо заменяет поля слияния. Но когда я начинаю добавлять специальное форматирование к файлу docx, например, отступы, возвращаемая версия документа - это полный беспорядок.

Вот код python, ничего особенного, просто производит беспорядок на изображении ниже (но он отлично работает с базовым c текстовым документом)

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from __future__ import print_function
from mailmerge import MailMerge
from datetime import date
import re
import getopt, sys
import argparse


# build the arguments
argumentParser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Process word document merge fields')

# add main arguments
argumentParser.add_argument('--inputDocx', required=True, help='The template docx file')
argumentParser.add_argument('--outputDocx', required=True, help='The output docx file')


# add arguments for the merge fields
argumentParser.add_argument('--valuedPrice', help='Valuation price')
argumentParser.add_argument('--propertyPrice', help='Property price string')
argumentParser.add_argument('--systemDate', help='The system date')
argumentParser.add_argument('--userFullName', help='The full name of the user making the document')
argumentParser.add_argument('--userJobTitle', help='The full job title of the user making the document')
argumentParser.add_argument('--applicantAddress', help='The applicant address')
argumentParser.add_argument('--applicantName', help='The applicant name')
argumentParser.add_argument('--propertyAddress', help='The property address')
argumentParser.add_argument('--eventDate', help='An event date')
argumentParser.add_argument('--eventTime', help='An event time')
argumentParser.add_argument('--attendeeName', help='Usually the negotiator name')
argumentParser.add_argument('--branchTel', help='The branch telephone')
argumentParser.add_argument('--branchEmail', help='The branch email address')
argumentParser.add_argument('--ownerName', help='The property owner name')
argumentParser.add_argument('--ownerAddress', help='The property owner address')
argumentParser.add_argument('--propertyTenure', help='Property Tenure')

# parse the arguments
arguments = argumentParser.parse_args()


# get filename
template = arguments.inputDocx
outputTemplate = arguments.outputDocx

# get values to replace
valuedPrice = arguments.valuedPrice if arguments.valuedPrice != None else ''

# store field replacements

# load the file into merge library
document = MailMerge(template)


# turn merge fields object into a list
fields = list(document.get_merge_fields())

# store the formatted fields
formattedFields = fields

# loop fields
if len(fields) > 0:
    i = 0
    while i < len(fields):

        # replace the [1,0,1,1] bits
        currentVal = re.sub("\[.*\]","",fields[i])
        print("ORIGINAL FIELD: " + fields[i] + " REPLACED: " + currentVal)

        # DOES THE STRIPPED NAME EXIST IN OUR DICTIONARY?
        if currentVal in fieldReplacements:
            # REPLACE ORIGINAL FIELD
            document.merge(
                **{fields[i] : fieldReplacements[currentVal]}
            )

        i += 1



# write the document
