CalloutFormat Object Members
Publisher Developer Reference |
Contains properties and methods that apply to line callouts.
Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
AutomaticLength | Specifies that the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box) be scaled automatically when the callout is moved. | |
CustomDrop | Sets the vertical distance from the edge of the text bounding box to the place where the callout line attaches to the text box. | |
CustomLength | Specifies that the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box) retain a fixed length whenever the callout is moved. | |
PresetDrop | Specifies whether the callout line attaches to the top, bottom, or center of the callout text box or whether it attaches at a point that's a specified distance from the top or bottom of the text box. |
Properties
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
Accent | Returns or sets an MsoTriState constant indicating whether a vertical accent bar separates the callout text from the callout line. Read/write. | |
Angle | Returns or sets an MsoCalloutAngleType constant that represents the angle of the callout line. If the callout line contains more than one line segment, this property returns or sets the angle of the segment that is farthest from the callout text box. Read/write. | |
Application | Used without an object qualifier, this property returns an Application object that represents the current instance of Publisher. Used with an object qualifier, this property returns an Application object that represents the creator of the specified object. When used with an OLE Automation object, it returns the object's application. | |
AutoAttach | Returns or sets an MsoTriState constant indicating whether the place where the callout line attaches to the callout text box changes depending on whether the origin of the callout line (where the callout points) is to the left or right of the callout text box. Read/write. | |
AutoLength | Returns an MsoTriState constant indicating whether the first segment of the callout line is scaled when the callout is moved. Applies only to callouts whose lines consist of more than one segment (types msoCalloutThree and msoCalloutFour). Read-only. | |
Border | Returns or sets an MsoTriState constant indicating whether the text in the specified callout is surrounded by a border. Read/write. | |
Drop | For callouts with an explicitly set drop value, this property returns the vertical distance from the edge of the text bounding box to the place where the callout line attaches to the text box. This distance is measured from the top of the text box unless the AutoAttach property is set to True and the text box is to the left of the origin of the callout line (where the callout points). In this case, the drop distance is measured from the bottom of the text box. Read-only Variant. | |
DropType | Returns an MsoCalloutDropType constant indicating where the callout line attaches to the callout text box. Read-only. | |
Gap | Returns or sets a Variant indicating the horizontal distance between the end of the callout line and the text bounding box. Read/write. | |
Length | Returns a Variant indicating the length (in points) of the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box) if the AutoLength property of the specified callout is set to False. Otherwise, an error occurs. Read-only. | |
Parent | Returns an object that represents the parent object of the specified object. For example, for a TextFrame object, returns a Shape object representing the parent shape of the text frame. Read-only. | |
Type | Returns or sets an MsoCalloutType constant that represents the callout type. Read/write. |
