Examples

Shows how to copy styles from one document to another.

# Create a document, and then add styles that we will copy to another document.
template = aw.Document()
style = template.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'TemplateStyle1')
style.font.name = 'Times New Roman'
style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.navy
style = template.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'TemplateStyle2')
style.font.name = 'Arial'
style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.deep_sky_blue
style = template.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'TemplateStyle3')
style.font.name = 'Courier New'
style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.royal_blue
self.assertEqual(7, template.styles.count)
# Create a document which we will copy the styles to.
target = aw.Document()
# Create a style with the same name as a style from the template document and add it to the target document.
style = target.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'TemplateStyle3')
style.font.name = 'Calibri'
style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.orange
self.assertEqual(5, target.styles.count)
# There are two ways of calling the method to copy all the styles from one document to another.
# 1 -  Passing the template document object:
target.copy_styles_from_template(template=template)
# Copying styles adds all styles from the template document to the target
# and overwrites existing styles with the same name.
self.assertEqual(7, target.styles.count)
self.assertEqual('Courier New', target.styles.get_by_name('TemplateStyle3').font.name)
self.assertEqual(aspose.pydrawing.Color.royal_blue.to_argb(), target.styles.get_by_name('TemplateStyle3').font.color.to_argb())
# 2 -  Passing the local system filename of a template document:
target.copy_styles_from_template(template=MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
self.assertEqual(21, target.styles.count)

Shows how to copies styles from the template to a document via Document.

template = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
target = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Document.docx')
