SmartStyleBehavior

ImportFormatOptions.SmartStyleBehavior property

Gets or sets a boolean value that specifies how styles will be imported when they have equal names in source and destination documents. The default value is false.

public bool SmartStyleBehavior { get; set; }

Remarks

When this option is enabled, the source style will be expanded into a direct attributes inside a destination document, if KeepSourceFormatting importing mode is used.

When this option is disabled, the source style will be expanded only if it is numbered. Existing destination attributes will not be overridden, including lists.

Examples

Shows how to resolve duplicate styles while inserting documents.

Document dstDoc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(dstDoc);

Style myStyle = builder.Document.Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, "MyStyle");
myStyle.Font.Size = 14;
myStyle.Font.Name = "Courier New";
myStyle.Font.Color = Color.Blue;

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = myStyle.Name;
builder.Writeln("Hello world!");

// Clone the document and edit the clone's "MyStyle" style, so it is a different color than that of the original.
// If we insert the clone into the original document, the two styles with the same name will cause a clash.
Document srcDoc = dstDoc.Clone();
srcDoc.Styles["MyStyle"].Font.Color = Color.Red;

// When we enable SmartStyleBehavior and use the KeepSourceFormatting import format mode,
// Aspose.Words will resolve style clashes by converting source document styles.
// with the same names as destination styles into direct paragraph attributes.
ImportFormatOptions options = new ImportFormatOptions();
options.SmartStyleBehavior = true;

builder.InsertDocument(srcDoc, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting, options);

dstDoc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocumentBuilder.SmartStyleBehavior.docx");
