My goal here  is to get the track changes record ( means to get the new inserted text and deleted text  from the word document) . i am able to capture the changes when i get the document from the local but when i read the document using python from QB then its returning the raw HTML.



i am able to get the record data with the document URL.
when i read the document using below code its giving me raw HTML.

wordfile=urlopen("document URL ").read()

Thanks

I will try and look into this more tomorrow. I was getting similar results as you when testing against my own docx file hosted in Quick Base. Seeing the HTML and honestly it feels like it is not authenticated properly. It should be possible to visit the URL and get the file back in some form. I know docx can be annoying to deal with though.
