| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Nullable<Int32> |
Character spacing from -31680 to 31680 (in twips) or null ( Nothing in Visual Basic) for a mixture of values. A positive number specifies expanded character spacing, a negative value specifies condensed spacing.

The code sample below shows how to specify condensed spacing (2pt) for a document paragraph:
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
var targetParagraph = document.Paragraphs[2];
var cP = document.BeginUpdateCharacters(targetParagraph.Range);
cP.Spacing = -2;
document.EndUpdateCharacters(cP);
Dim document As Document = wordProcessor.Document
Dim targetParagraph = document.Paragraphs(2)
Dim cP = document.BeginUpdateCharacters(targetParagraph.Range)
cP.Spacing = -2
document.EndUpdateCharacters(cP)
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the Spacing property.
