Specifies the spacing that should be added before the first line in this paragraph in the document in line units.
The value of this attribute is specified in hundredths of a line.
If the beforeAutoSpacing attribute is also specified, then this attribute value is ignored. If this setting is never specified in the style hierarchy, then its value shall be zero (if needed).
