Remarks

The document template cannot be automatically overwritten either in code or in the UI. The information about the original file location and its format is dropped. An attempt to save (i.e., overwrite) the original document invokes the Save As dialog that enables the end-user to specify a different file name and format.

The code sample below loads a document template from a file.

csharp
richEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate("Documents//Template.docx");
vb
richEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate("Documents//Template.docx")

Tip

Use LoadDocumentTemplate method overloads which explicit format definition to improve performance.
