Property BeforeParagraphSpacing As Single
Member of StructSpaceProperties
The BeforeParagraphSpacing property returns or specifies the amount of space before the first line of a paragraph. This value varies depending on the type of paragraph spacing specified by the StructSpaceProperties.LineSpacingType property; for example, spacing can be measured as a percentage of character height, in points, or as a percentage of point size.
The following VBA example sets the spacing of lines at 120% of the font size, the spacing before paragraphs of 100%, and the spacing after paragraphs of 50%.
| Sub Test() | 
|  With ActiveShape.Text.Selection | 
|   .LineSpacingType = cdrPercentOfPointSizeLineSpacing | 
|   .LineSpacing = 120 | 
|   .BeforeParagraphSpacing = 100 | 
|   .AfterParagraphSpacing = 50 | 
|  End With | 
| End Sub |
