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("Document.default_template.docx")
options.default_template = MY_DIR + "Business brochure.dotx"

doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Document.default_template.docx", options)
