Examples

Shows how to attach a template to a document.

Document doc = new Document();

// Microsoft Word documents by default come with an attached template called "Normal.dotm".
// There is no default template for blank Aspose.Words documents.
Assert.AreEqual(string.Empty, doc.AttachedTemplate);

// Attach a template, then set the flag to apply style changes
// within the template to styles in our document.
doc.AttachedTemplate = MyDir + "Business brochure.dotx";
doc.AutomaticallyUpdateStyles = true;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Document.AutomaticallyUpdateStyles.docx");

Shows how to set a default template for documents that do not have attached templates.

Document doc = new Document();

// Enable automatic style updating, but do not attach a template document.
doc.AutomaticallyUpdateStyles = true;

Assert.AreEqual(string.Empty, doc.AttachedTemplate);

// Since there is no template document, the document had nowhere to track style changes.
// Use a SaveOptions object to automatically set a template
// if a document that we are saving does not have one.
SaveOptions options = SaveOptions.CreateSaveOptions("Document.DefaultTemplate.docx");
options.DefaultTemplate = MyDir + "Business brochure.dotx";

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Document.DefaultTemplate.docx", options);
