Note: The functionality of some of the items may be depend on the version of the rich edit control available on the user's system.



KEY


TYPE DESCRIPTION


Bulleted


boolean


True if the text selection is bulleted, false if it is not.


StartIndent


number


The left indent of the first line in twips. (and all subsequent lines if

Offset is 0).


RightIndent


number


The right indent of the text, relative to the right margin, in twips.


Offset


number


The indentation of the second and subsequent lines, relative to the indentation of the first line, in twips.


Alignment


number


The paragraph alignment:

PFA_LEFT (1) - Paragraphs are aligned with the left margin. PFA_RIGHT (2) - Paragraphs are aligned with the right margin. PFA_CENTER (3) - Paragraphs are centered.

PFA_JUSTIFY (4) - Paragraphs are justified (Rich Edit 2.0). This value is included for compatibility with TOM interfaces; rich edit controls earlier than Rich Edit 3.0 display the text aligned with the left margin.


Tabs


table


A numerically indexed table of the tab positions.



SpaceBefore


number


The size of the spacing above the paragraph, in twips.


SpaceAfter


number


The size of the spacing below the paragraph, in twips.


LineSpacing


number


The spacing between lines based on the LineSpacingRule defined below.


LineSpacingRule


number


Type of line spacing based on one of the following values:

0 - Single spacing. The LineSpacing item is ignored.


1 - One-and-a-half spacing. The LineSpacing item is ignored.

2 - Double spacing. The LineSpacing item is ignored.

3 - The LineSpacing item specifies the spacing from one line to the next, in twips. However, if LineSpacing specifies a value that is less than single spacing, the control displays single-spaced text.

4 - The LineSpacing item specifies the spacing from one line to the next, in twips. The control uses the exact spacing specified, even if LineSpacing specifies a value that is less than single spacing.

5 - The value of LineSpacing / 20 is the spacing, in lines, from one line to the next. Thus, setting LineSpacing to 20 produces single- spaced text, 40 is double spaced, 60 is triple spaced, and so on.


BorderSpace


number


The space between the border and the paragraph text, in twips. This item is included for compatibility with Word; the rich edit control stores the values but does not use them to display text.


BorderWidth


number


The border width, in twips.


Borders


number


This item is only included for compatibility, and may not have any visible effect. For a description of this option, see MSDN: PARAFORMAT2 Structure.
