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

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