title: Remove all italicized characters from the first column of a docx table in Python
body: <p>All I could find was <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30740731/reading-docx-files-recognizing-and-storing-italicized-text">about paragraphs as wholes</a> (as it seems). Tried to use the solution anyway, but there was an error ("AttributeError: .runs").</p>
  
  <p>I looked into <a href="http://python-docx.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user/styles-using.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python-docx documentation</a>, but I don't know how to apply that information here.</p>
  
  <p>My paragraphs have italicized words and possibly parts of words. What (I think) I need is a loop that checks if characters are italicized.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import win32com.client as win32
  word = win32.Dispatch("Word.Application")
  word.Visible = 0
  word.Documents.Open("C:**path**.docx")
  doc = word.ActiveDocument
  
  doc.Tables.Count
  
  table = doc.Tables(1)   
  
  index = list(range(0, 1000))
  
  for i in index: 
      s = table.Cell(Row =i, Column =1).Range.Text  
      # now another loop, using 'run' object?
  </code></pre>
