Trouble importing text from a .docx file

[atinesh922]

I am trying tokenize words of a Word Document Doc.docx having a sentence This is a doc file. But unfortunately, each token is getting prefixed with a letter 'u'

from nltk .tokenize import word_tokenize
import docx

def getText(filename):
    doc = docx.Document(filename)
    fullText =
    for para in doc.paragraphs:
        fullText.append(para.text)
    return '\n'.join(fullText)

Text = getText('Doc.docx')
words = word_tokenize(Text)
print(words)

Output:
Output : [u'This', u'is', u'a', u'doc', u'file']

Expected Output : ['This', 'is', 'a', 'doc', 'file']
