Property Scale As Integer?
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Nullable<Int32> |
The scaling percentage (from 1 to 600); or null ( Nothing in Visual Basic) for a mixture of values.
|
Use this property to stretch or compress text horizontally by a percentage of the current size. If the property value is more that 600, an exception is thrown.
The code sample below shows how to specify 150% scaling for a document’s third paragraph:
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
var targetParagraph = document.Paragraphs[2];
var cP = document.BeginUpdateCharacters(targetParagraph.Range);
cP.Scale = 150;
document.EndUpdateCharacters(cP);
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
Dim targetParagraph = document.Paragraphs(2)
Dim cP = document.BeginUpdateCharacters(targetParagraph.Range)
cP.Scale = 150
document.EndUpdateCharacters(cP)
