Python docx add_paragraph() inserts leading newline -

i'm able use paragraph object select font size, color, bold, etc. within table cell. but, add_paragraph() seems insert leading \n cell , messes formatting on tables.

if use cell.text('') method doesn't insert newline can't control text attributes.

is there way eliminate leading newline?

here function:

def add_table_cell(table, row, col, text, fontsize=8, r=0, g=0, b=0, width=-1):     cell = table.cell(row,col)     if (width!=-1):     cell.width = inches(width)     para = cell.add_paragraph(style=none)     para.alignment = wd_align_paragraph.left     run = para.add_run(text)     run.bold = false     run.font.size = pt(fontsize)     run.font.color.type == mso_color_type.rgb     run.font.color.rgb = rgbcolor(r, g, b) 

i tried following , worked out me. not sure if best approach:

cells[0].text = 'some text' #write text cell

#modify paragraph alignment, first paragraph cells[0].paragraphs[0].paragraph_format.alignment=wd_align_paragraph.center
