VB.NET

Property LineSpacingType As ParagraphLineSpacing?

Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<ParagraphLineSpacing>	A ParagraphLineSpacing enumeration value representing the line spacing type.

Available values:

Name	Description
Single	This option accommodates the largest font in that line, plus a small amount of extra space. The amount of extra space varies depending on the font that is used.
Sesquialteral	This option is one-and-one-half times that of single line spacing.
Double	This option is twice that of single line spacing.
Multiple	This option sets line spacing that can be expressed in numbers greater than 1. For example, setting line spacing to 1.15 will increase the space by 15 percent, and setting line spacing to 3 increases the space by 300 percent (triple spacing). The multiplication value is specified by the Paragraph.LineSpacingMultiplier property.
Exactly	This option sets fixed line spacing, specified by the Paragraph.LineSpacing property.
AtLeast	The line spacing can be greater than or equal to, but never less than, the specified Paragraph.LineSpacing value.

Remarks

If the LineSpacingType property is set to ParagraphLineSpacing.Single, ParagraphLineSpacing.Sesquialteral or ParagraphLineSpacing.Double, the line spacing value is determined automatically, according to the height of the text in each line.

If the LineSpacingType property is set to ParagraphLineSpacing.Exactly or ParagraphLineSpacing.AtLeast, the line spacing is determined by the ParagraphPropertiesBase.LineSpacing property.

If the LineSpacingType property is set to ParagraphLineSpacing.Multiple, the line spacing is determined by the ParagraphPropertiesBase.LineSpacingMultiplier property.
