default_template property

SaveOptions.default_template property

Gets or sets path to default template (including filename). Default value for this property is empty string ().

@property
def default_template(self) -> str:
    ...

@default_template.setter
def default_template(self, value: str):
    ...

Remarks

If specified, this path is used to load template when Document.automatically_update_styles is True, but Document.attached_template is empty.

Examples

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

doc = aw.Document()
# Enable automatic style updating, but do not attach a template document.
doc.automatically_update_styles = True
self.assertEqual('', doc.attached_template)
# 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.
options = aw.saving.SaveOptions.create_save_options(file_name='Document.DefaultTemplate.docx')
options.default_template = MY_DIR + 'Business brochure.dotx'
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Document.DefaultTemplate.docx', save_options=options)
