Represents leader lines on a chart. Leader lines connect data labels to data points.
Version Information
Version Added: Word 2007
Remarks
This object is not a collection; there is no object that represents a single leader line.
This object applies only to pie charts.
Example
Use the LeaderLines property to return the LeaderLines object. The following example adds data labels and blue leader lines to series one on the first chart in the active document. If no leader lines are visible, this example code will fail. In this situation, you can manually drag one of the data labels away from the pie chart to make a leader line show up.
With ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1)
If .HasChart Then
With .Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
.HasDataLabels = True
.DataLabels.Position = xlLabelPositionBestFit
.HasLeaderLines = True
.LeaderLines.Border.ColorIndex = 5
End With
End If
End With
