It'd be very useful if python-docx produced identical binary result every time a document with identical contents is being generated. I have two specific scenarios in mind here: - keeping documentation for some slow-changing data in version control without wasting space every time a report is regenerated, - being able to quickly check binary hash of a report to verify the same contents were generated as a kind of unit test Unfortunatelly the current code produces binary different .docx every time the python script is executed. I've looked into the issue and propose a [pull request](https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/pull/810) to satisfy the need. Last but not least, thanks for your great library, I am glad I can give something back.
