template property

BuiltInDocumentProperties.template property

Gets or sets the informational name of the document template.

@property
def template(self) -> str:
    ...

@template.setter
def template(self, value: str):
    ...

Remarks

In Microsoft Word, this property is for informational purposes only and usually contains only the file name of the template without the path.

Empty string means the document is attached to the Normal template.

To get or set the actual name of the attached template, use the Document.attached_template property.

Examples

Shows how to work with document properties in the “Origin” category.

# Open a document that we have created and edited using Microsoft Word.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Properties.docx')
properties = doc.built_in_document_properties
# The following built-in properties contain information regarding the creation and editing of this document.
# We can right-click this document in Windows Explorer and find
# these properties via "Properties" -> "Details" -> "Origin" category.
# Fields such as PRINTDATE and EDITTIME can display these values in the document body.
print(f'Created using {properties.name_of_application}, on {properties.created_time}')
print(f'Minutes spent editing: {properties.total_editing_time}')
print(f'Date/time last printed: {properties.last_printed}')
print(f'Template document: {properties.template}')
# We can also change the values of built-in properties.
properties.company = 'Doe Ltd.'
properties.manager = 'Jane Doe'
properties.version = 5
properties.revision_number += 1
# Microsoft Word updates the following properties automatically when we save the document.
# To use these properties with Aspose.Words, we will need to set values for them manually.
properties.last_saved_by = 'John Doe'
properties.last_saved_time = datetime.datetime.now()
# We can right-click this document in Windows Explorer and find these properties in "Properties" -> "Details" -> "Origin".
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'DocumentProperties.Origin.docx')
