Setting Line Spacing Using Code

Al Bogdan

What's the best way to set line spacing within code? I'd like to be able to use a single precision floating point to determine the line spacing. "1.0" for single spaced, "2.0" for double spaced, etc.. Any tips?

The following seems to do the trick:

Code

par := ActiveText.FirstPar;
 while not (par = nil) do
 begin
      par.spacebetween := round(100 * (LineSpacing.FloatValue));
      par := par.NextPar;
 end;

WPTools 4 only had the RTF conform spacebetween property, WPTools 5 has SpaceBetween and LineHeight. LineHeight is a % value and SpaceBetween is a twips value. The latter can be negative to allow lineheight smaller than the largest character in a line.

Code

par := ActiveText.FirstPar; 
 while not (par = nil) do 
 begin 
      par.ADel(WPAT_SpaceBetween);
      par.ASet(WPAT_LineHeight, round(LineSpacing.FloatValue); 
      par := par.NextPar; 
 end;
