builder.write('Hello world!')
options = aw.saving.DocSaveOptions(aw.SaveFormat.DOC)

# Note that this does not encrypt the contents of the document in any way.
options.password = 'MyPassword'

options.save_routing_slip = True
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocSaveOptions.save_as_doc.doc', options)
# To be able to load the document,
