view_type property

ViewOptions.view_type property

Controls the view mode in Microsoft Word.

@property
def view_type(self) -> aspose.words.settings.ViewType:
    ...

@view_type.setter
def view_type(self, value: aspose.words.settings.ViewType):
    ...

Remarks

Although Aspose.Words is able to read and write this option, its usage is application-specific. For example MS Word 2013 does not respect the value of this option.

Examples

Shows how to set a custom zoom factor, which older versions of Microsoft Word will apply to a document upon loading.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.writeln("Hello world!")

doc.view_options.view_type = aw.settings.ViewType.PAGE_LAYOUT
doc.view_options.zoom_percent = 50

self.assertEqual(aw.settings.ZoomType.CUSTOM, doc.view_options.zoom_type)
self.assertEqual(aw.settings.ZoomType.NONE, doc.view_options.zoom_type)

doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "ViewOptions.set_zoom_percentage.doc")
