I think currently there's no support for that.
In the mean time, you can use a custom template where you define the default font for your document. https://github.com/karnov/htmltoword#configure-templates-and-xslt-paths.

Thank you, but I am not sure how to use them (I tried). Do I have to create empty docx and point it there?
Where should I put this configuration (in what file)?
Htmltoword.configure do |config| config.custom_templates_path = config.default_templates_path = config.default_xslt_path = config.custom_xslt_path = end

It depends on your application, if it's a rails application you can have it in somewhere like config/initializers/htmltoword.rb. Else you should be able to it like
require 'htmltoword'
# Configure the location of your custom templates
Htmltoword.config.custom_templates_path = 'some_path'
my_html = '<html><head></head><body><p>Hello</p></body></html>'
document = Htmltoword::Document.create(my_html, word_template_file_name)
file = Htmltoword::Document.create_and_save(my_html, file_path, word_template_file_name)
from htmltoword.

So for the time being we are stuck with one font and size for the entire document?

Been trying to work this out, but seems like even with the path custom_templates_path
created an initializer: config/initializers/htmltoword.rb
Htmltoword.configure do |config|
config.custom_templates_path = Rails.root.join('lib/assets/templates')
end
added debug output to the gem in the templates_helper.rb:
def template_file(template_file_name = nil)
default_path = File.join(::Htmltoword.config.default_templates_path, 'default.docx')
template_path = template_file_name.nil? ? '' : File.join(::Htmltoword.config.custom_templates_path, template_file_name)
p "Template path: " + template_path
File.exist?(template_path) ? template_path : default_path
end
"Template path: /lib/assets/templates/new_template.docx"
This path is correct and if I run:
open <the full path on disk to rails app folder>/lib/assets/templates/new_template.docx
it opens in word.
Even though this new_template.docx has overridden all fonts with Times New Roman it still creates a document with Arial for all text. Seems like the custom template is not working.
Also if I just update the default.docx in the gem to be Times New Roman it still generates a doc with Arial

I'm seeing the same issue - can't get htmltoword to use the template Word file I supply (via Rails 5.2). Has anyone actually got the templates to work or is it a universal problem?
I tried setting the paths in an initializer and, although this seems to work (the path is redefined), the default.docx file at that location isn't used - even though it complains if the file isn't there.
I tried using the word_template option in the actual command with no effect (except that Rails complains if the file isn't there, of course, so I know the path is correct):
def download_project_file
respond_to do |format|
format.docx do
render docx: @project.file.filename.to_s.chomp('.docx')+' (output).docx', content: @project.file_contents, word_template: ActionController::Base.helpers.asset_path('/htmltoword/template.docx')
end
end
end
Is the only option to work out how to redefine the styles in the WordXML and rebuild the gem with my preferred styles? Has anyone tried this?

I just did the following, which worked:
- Upload https://github.com/karnov/htmltoword/blob/master/lib/htmltoword/templates/default.docx to Google Docs
- Edit the font and font sizes, then updating the document style e.g click "Update normal text to match" in google docs
- Download the modified version and add to our rails app at lib/htmltoword/templates/mytemplate.docx
- Create an initializer (config/initializers/htmltoword.rb) e.g
Htmltoword.configure do |config|
config.custom_templates_path = Rails.root.join('lib', 'htmltoword', 'templates')
end
- Reference template e.g Htmltoword::Document.create(html, 'mytemplate.docx')

Ah - thanks, @joshudev. The missing step for me was the last one: I'd tried in various ways to replace the default template and failed. Making an explicit template and referring to it at the point of generating the file gives me a file formatted as I wanted!
