Cells with field values/drop down menu in word is not recognised as text with _Cells.text

[Heikasee]

For cells with a field code or a drop down menu, the library does not recognise the text within them.

For example, here is a word table with the first row having dropdown menus, second row having field values and third row just having normal text

Running through the code below

from docx import Document
import pandas as pd

doc = Document("C:\Developer\example\exampletable.docx")
tables = []
for table in doc.tables:
    # initialise df
    df = [['' for _ in range(len(table.columns))] for _ in range(len(table.rows))]
    
    # populate the df with data from table
    for i, row in enumerate(table.rows):
        for j, cell in enumerate(row.cells):
            df[i][j] = cell.text
    
    tables.append(pd.DataFrame(df))
    
print(tables[0])

results in this table

             0       1
0     Dropdown
1  Field value
2  Normal Text  Hello
