after text replacement the font name, size and its other associated style like bold, italics are getting changed

[vikashvishnu1508]

I am using python-docx for a automation tool. I have a issue like once after I run the code for replacement of certain words in one list with corresponding in another list it is removing all the properties (like font size, font name, part of a text in bold or italics, bookmarks in the paragraphs or table) of the text in the paragraph and table and its coming with a plain text in "Calibri" with a font size of '12'.

The code that I used is:

wrongWord = "xyz"
correctWord = "abcd"
def iter_block_items(parent):
    if isinstance(parent, _Document):
        parent_elm = parent.element.body
        # print(parent_elm.xml)
    elif isinstance(parent, _Cell):
        parent_elm = parent._tc
    else:
        raise ValueError("something's not right")
 
    for child in parent_elm.iterchildren():
        if isinstance(child, CT_P):
            yield Paragraph(child, parent)
        elif isinstance(child, CT_Tbl):
            yield Table(child, parent)
 
document = Document(r"F:\python\documentSample.docx")
for block in iter_block_items(document):
    if isinstance(block, Paragraph):
        if wrongWord in block.text:
            block.text = block.text.replace(wrongWord, correctWord)
    else:
        for row in block.rows:
            for cell in row.cells:
                if wrongWord in cell.text:
                    cell.text = cell.text.replace(wrongWord, correctWord)

document.save(r"F:\python\documentSampleAfterChanges.docx")

Could you help me to get the same font size, font name and other associated properties to be copied from the original file after the text replacement.
