ShadowFormat.OffsetY Property

  • Article
PowerPoint Developer Reference

Returns or sets the vertical offset of the shadow from the specified shape, in points. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.OffsetY

expression   A variable that represents an ShadowFormat object.

Return Value
Single

Remarks

A positive value offsets the shadow to the right of the shape; a negative value offsets it to the left.

If you want to nudge a shadow horizontally or vertically from its current position without having to specify an absolute position, use the IncrementOffsetX method or the IncrementOffsetY method.

Example

This example sets the horizontal and vertical offsets of the shadow for shape three on myDocument. The shadow is offset 5 points to the right of the shape and 3 points above it. If the shape doesn't already have a shadow, this example adds one to it.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes(3).Shadow
    .Visible = True
    .OffsetX = 5
    .OffsetY = -3
End With
