## ImportFormatOptions.smart_style_behavior property

Gets or sets a boolean value that specifies how styles will be imported
when they have equal names in source and destination documents.
The default value is ``False``.



```python
@property
def smart_style_behavior(self) -> bool:
    ...

@smart_style_behavior.setter
def smart_style_behavior(self, value: bool):
    ...

```

### Remarks

When this option is **enabled**, the source style will be expanded into a direct attributes inside a
destination document, if [ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING](../../importformatmode/#KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING) importing mode is used.

When this option is **disabled**, the source style will be expanded only if it is numbered. Existing
destination attributes will not be overridden, including lists.




### Examples

Shows how to resolve duplicate styles while inserting documents.

```python
dst_doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=dst_doc)
my_style = builder.document.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'MyStyle')
my_style.font.size = 14
my_style.font.name = 'Courier New'
my_style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.blue
builder.paragraph_format.style_name = my_style.name
builder.writeln('Hello world!')
# Clone the document and edit the clone's "MyStyle" style, so it is a different color than that of the original.
# If we insert the clone into the original document, the two styles with the same name will cause a clash.
src_doc = dst_doc.clone()
src_doc.styles.get_by_name('MyStyle').font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.red
# When we enable SmartStyleBehavior and use the KeepSourceFormatting import format mode,
# Aspose.Words will resolve style clashes by converting source document styles.
# with the same names as destination styles into direct paragraph attributes.
options = aw.ImportFormatOptions()
options.smart_style_behavior = True
builder.insert_document(src_doc=src_doc, import_format_mode=aw.ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING, import_format_options=options)
dst_doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentBuilder.SmartStyleBehavior.docx')
```
