## StyleCollection.default_font property

Gets document default text formatting.


```python
@property
def default_font(self) -> aspose.words.Font:
    ...

```

### Remarks

Note that document-wide defaults were introduced in Microsoft Word 2007 and are fully supported in OOXML formats ([LoadFormat.DOCX](../../loadformat/#DOCX)) only.
Earlier document formats have limited support for this feature and only font names can be stored.




### Examples

Shows how to add a Style to a document's styles collection.

```python
doc = aw.Document()
styles = doc.styles
# Set default parameters for new styles that we may later add to this collection.
styles.default_font.name = 'Courier New'
# If we add a style of the "StyleType.Paragraph", the collection will apply the values of
# its "DefaultParagraphFormat" property to the style's "ParagraphFormat" property.
styles.default_paragraph_format.first_line_indent = 15
# Add a style, and then verify that it has the default settings.
styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'MyStyle')
self.assertEqual('Courier New', styles[4].font.name)
self.assertEqual(15, styles.get_by_name('MyStyle').paragraph_format.first_line_indent)
```
