default_paragraph_format property

StyleCollection.default_paragraph_format property

Gets document default paragraph formatting.

@property
def default_paragraph_format(self) -> aspose.words.ParagraphFormat:
    ...

Remarks

Note that document-wide defaults were introduced in Microsoft Word 2007 and are fully supported in OOXML formats (LoadFormat.DOCX) only. Earlier document formats have no support for document default paragraph formatting.

Examples

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

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)
