I would like to ask if there is any solution for this yet? To convert a .dotm macro directly to .docx, changing all text within content controls to plain text. The only solution that works for me is to first save it as a word file (in doc format), then save it again as a docx word file, but it seems quite manual.

The reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to read a docx file into Python with python-docx. However, python-docx cannot detect any text in content controls.

Thanks!
