Document Editor supports various paragraph formatting options such as text alignment, indentation, paragraph spacing, and more.
You can modify the left or right indentation of selected paragraphs using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.leftIndent= 24;
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.rightIndent= 24;
You can define special indent for first line of the paragraph using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.firstLineIndent= 24;
You can increase the left indent of selected paragraphs by a factor of 36 points using the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.increaseIndent()
You can decrease the left indent of selected paragraphs by a factor of 36 points using the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.decreaseIndent()
You can get or set the text alignment of selected paragraphs using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.textAlignment= 'Center' | 'Left' | 'Right' | 'Justify';
You can toggle the text alignment of selected paragraphs by specifying a value using the following sample code.
documenteditor.editor.toggleTextAlignment('Center' | 'Left' | 'Right' | 'Justify');
You can define the line spacing and its type for selected paragraphs using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.lineSpacingType='AtLeast';
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.lineSpacing= 6;
You can define the spacing before or after the paragraph by using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.beforeSpacing= 24;
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.afterSpacing= 24;
You can also set automatic spacing before and after the paragraph by using the following sample code.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.spaceBeforeAuto = true;
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.spaceAfterAuto = true;
Note: If auto spacing property is enabled, then value defined in the beforeSpacing
and afterSpacing
property will not be considered.
You can enable or disable the following pagination properties for the paragraphs in a Word document.
The following example code illustrates how to enable or disable these pagination properties for the selected paragraphs.
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.widowControl = false;
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.keepWithNext = true;
documenteditor.selection.paragraphFormat.keepLinesTogether = true;
The following sample demonstrates the paragraph formatting options using a toolbar.
