title: python-docx - how to control font and other attributes
body: <p>I'm using python-docx to generate .docx files. I'd like to be able to control the style of the paragraphs (and of individual words within if that's possible) that I'm appending to the document body.</p>
  
  <p>The business-end of generating a paragraph looks like this:</p>
  
  <p>body.append(paragraph("This is a new paragraph"))</p>
  
  <p>Now, I'm not familiar with the complexities of XML and to be honest, learning enough of it to parse and manipulate it using lxml would be overkill for what I have in mind. Can anyone provide a simple example of, say, changing the font of my paragraph above from the default to Courier New?</p>
  
  <p>There are a couple of similar (but unanswered) questions here, so apologies for the breach of protocol if I've got it wrong.</p>
