Text Extractor with Tkinter UI

This Python script provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) built with Tkinter that allows users to extract specific rows from a Word document (.docx) based on a numbering pattern (e.g., 1#h, 2#h, etc.). The extracted content can be saved as either a text file (.txt) or another Word document (.docx), preserving formatting such as bold, italic, underline, font size, and font color.

Features

• File Selection: Users can select a Word document from their file system.
• Output Format: Users can choose to save the extracted content as either a text file or a Word document.
• Formatting Preservation: When saving as a Word document, the script preserves text formatting, including colors, bold, italic, underline, and font sizes.
• Simple GUI: The user interface is straight forward and easy to use, with options for file selection and output format.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, ensure you have the following Python libraries installed:

• tkinter (usually included with Python)

• python 3.x
• pip

You can install python-docx using pip:
