using System.Drawing;
Let’s break down the process into simple steps:
Step 1: Initialize the Document
To start, you’ll need to create a new instance of the Document
class. This object represents the Word document you’ll be working with.
Document doc = new Document();
Step 2: Access the Theme Object
Next, you need to access the Theme
object from the document. The Theme
object contains properties related to the document’s theme, including fonts and colors.
Aspose.Words.Themes.Theme theme = doc.Theme;
Step 3: Set the Minor Font
One of the key aspects of a document’s theme is the font. Here, we will set the minor font to “Times New Roman”.
theme.MinorFonts.Latin = "Times New Roman";
Step 4: Change the Hyperlink Color
To give your hyperlinks a distinct look, you can change their color. In this example, we’ll set the hyperlink color to gold.
theme.Colors.Hyperlink = Color.Gold;
Step 5: Save the Document
Finally, after making all the desired changes to the theme, save the document. This step ensures that your changes are applied and the document is updated.
doc.Save("StyledDocument.docx");
