   Yes, I made the mistake of assuming everyone would understand what that was and haven't gone back to correct it. The recordset in this case would be a sequence of objects that have a qty, id, and desc property, like you might receive back from SQLAlchemy or something. You'll have to interpolate for now how this applies to your situation. I'll leave this issue open as a reminder to fix it up in the docs.

   I have made a few simple changes to make it run:

   import urllib.request
   from docx import Document
   from docx.shared import Inches
   
   document = Document()
   
   document.add_heading('Document Title', 0)
   
   p = document.add_paragraph('A plain paragraph having some ')
   p.add_run('bold').bold = True
   p.add_run(' and some ')
   p.add_run('italic.').italic = True
   
   document.add_heading('Heading, level 1', level=1)
   document.add_paragraph('Intense quote', style='IntenseQuote')
   
   document.add_paragraph(
       'first item in unordered list', style='ListBullet'
   )
   document.add_paragraph(
       'first item in ordered list', style='ListNumber'
   )
   
   urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://placehold.it/350x150", "placeholder.png")
   document.add_picture('placeholder.png', width=Inches(1.25))
   
   recordset = [
       {
           "id" : 1,
           "qty": 2,
           "desc": "New item"
       },
       {
           "id" : 2,
           "qty": 2,
           "desc": "New item"
       },
       {
           "id" : 3,
           "qty": 2,
           "desc": "New item"
       },
   
   ]
   
   table = document.add_table(rows=1, cols=3)
   hdr_cells = table.rows[0].cells
   hdr_cells[0].text = 'Qty'
   hdr_cells[1].text = 'Id'
   hdr_cells[2].text = 'Desc'
   for item in recordset:
       row_cells = table.add_row().cells
       row_cells[0].text = str(item["qty"])
       row_cells[1].text = str(item["id"])
       row_cells[2].text = item["desc"]
   
   document.add_page_break()
   
   document.save('demo.docx')

   Thanks for the help @berezovskyi. That was the great code which made me figure out the problem I am trying in different ways. I am a fresher in learning reading and writing into docx.This example shows clearly how to write into docx can you please explain how can I read text from doc. Please....!
