public static DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.WordprocessingDocument CreateFromTemplate (string path);static member CreateFromTemplate : string -> DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.WordprocessingDocumentPublic Shared Function CreateFromTemplate (path As String) As WordprocessingDocumentParameters
- path

The path and file name of the template.

CreateFromTemplate(String, Boolean)
Creates an editable WordprocessingDocument from a template, opened on a MemoryStream with expandable capacity.
public static DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.WordprocessingDocument CreateFromTemplate (string path, bool isTemplateAttached);static member CreateFromTemplate : string * bool -> DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging.WordprocessingDocumentPublic Shared Function CreateFromTemplate (path As String, isTemplateAttached As Boolean) As WordprocessingDocumentParameters
- path
- String
The path and file name of the template.
- isTemplateAttached
- Boolean
True, if the template should be attached to the document.
Returns
The new WordprocessingDocument based on and linked to the template.
Remarks
This method is provided to offer the choice to not attach the template. When templates are attached in Microsoft Word, for example, the absolute path will be used in the relationship. These absolute paths are most often user-specific, however, so once documents are shared with other users, the relationship gets "broken" anyhow.
