Shows how to attach a template to a document.

doc = aw.Document()
# Microsoft Word documents by default come with an attached template called "Normal.dotm".
# There is no default template for blank Aspose.Words documents.
self.assertEqual('', doc.attached_template)
# Attach a template, then set the flag to apply style changes
# within the template to styles in our document.
doc.attached_template = MY_DIR + 'Business brochure.dotx'
doc.automatically_update_styles = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Document.AutomaticallyUpdateStyles.docx')

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)
