Dear stp_webdev,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please try to use following code.

Code: Select all

shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].LeftMargin = 100;

If there is still the issue, please provide us with your input file and the expected result file(you can generate it by MS PowerPoint) for investigation.

What about space between bullet points? Like space between 1st and 2nd bullet points.

Dear stp_webdev,

Thanks for your information.
please try to use following method.

shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[1].SpaceBefore = 200;

If it is not what you expect, please provide us with your input file and the expected result file(you can generate it by MS PowerPoint) showing your requirement. Then we will provide the corresponding code.

Dear Dibyalochan,

Thanks for your feedback.
I got it. You could give the SpaceBefore smaller value to decrease the space in the screenshot. Did you do that ?
In addition, the vertical distance of two points depends on SpaceBefore, SpaceAfter and LineSpacing. Maybe you could set them.

Code: Select all

            shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[1].SpaceBefore = 0;
            //shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[1].SpaceAfter = 0;
            //shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[1].LineSpacing = 0.9f;

Hope this helps. If you still have issue, please provide us with input/expected files instead of screenshot for investigation.

Thanks,

Hello,

Sorry for late reply as weekend. Please try to go through all of the paragraph objects, and set their indent as same value. Hope it helps.

Code: Select all

 for (int i = 0; i < shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.Count; i++)
                {
                      shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs[i].Indent = 10;
                }

Hi,

The suggestion you have provided is not working for me.If you see the image all the lines are in a single paragraph and from the second lines on wards the lines are not getting indented as expected.

Hi,

Below is the code I am using for creating bullet-ed paragraph but I am unable indent the paragraph from second line onwards.I have also attached the images for expected output.

RectangleF qdt_reportContent = new RectangleF(370, 150, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width / 2 - 50, 130);
IAutoShape shape_qdtContent = presentation.Slides[report_count - 1].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, qdt_reportContent);
shape_qdtContent.Line.FillType = FillFormatType.None;
string[] str = new string[] { "Divergence between non-US and US", "Large currency impact.: XXXX XXXX Index returned +X.0X% in local currency terms but -X.XX% in US dollar terms.", "This marked the fourth consecutive year of loss for the trade weighted US dollar index.", "Emerging Markets were down X.XX% presumably reflecting negative sentiment for outsourcing and potential for deteriorating trading relationships." };
foreach (string txt in str)
{
TextParagraph textParagraph = new TextParagraph();
textParagraph.Text = txt;
textParagraph.Alignment = TextAlignmentType.Left;
textParagraph.LeftMargin = 5;
textParagraph.TextRanges[0].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
textParagraph.TextRanges[0].FontHeight = 12;
textParagraph.TextRanges[0].LatinFont = new TextFont("Calibri Light");
//set the Bullets
textParagraph.BulletType = TextBulletType.Symbol;
textParagraph.BulletStyle = NumberedBulletStyle.BulletSimpChinPeriod;
shape_qdtContent.TextFrame.Paragraphs.Append(textParagraph);
shape_qdtContent.Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.None;
textParagraph.Indent = 15f;

}

Hello,

Thanks for your codes. By investigation further, it needs to set the special value for indentation in paragraph as hanging when indent the paragraph from second line onwards, but sorry that now the value can't be set, and I have posted it to our Dev team, once it is resolved, or we have some other update, we will let you know ASAP, sorry for incovnenience.

Hello,

Thanks for your waiting. After investigation more, as per your requirement, it needs to set the following values.

Code: Select all

textParagraph.HangingPunctuation = TriState.True;
textParagraph.Indent = -15f;
textParagraph.LeftMargin = 15f;


Here is full test codes for your reference.

Code: Select all

       Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        RectangleF qdt_reportContent = new RectangleF(370, 150, presentation.SlideSize.Size.Width / 2 - 50, 130);
        IAutoShape shape_qdtContent = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, qdt_reportContent);
        shape_qdtContent.Line.FillType = FillFormatType.None;
        string[] str = new string[] { "Divergence between non-US and US", "Large currency impact.: XXXX XXXX Index returned +X.0X% in local currency terms but -X.XX% in US dollar terms.", "This marked the fourth consecutive year of loss for the trade weighted US dollar index.", "Emerging Markets were down X.XX% presumably reflecting negative sentiment for outsourcing and potential for deteriorating trading relationships." };
        foreach (string txt in str)
        {
            TextParagraph textParagraph = new TextParagraph();
            textParagraph.Text = txt;
            textParagraph.Alignment = TextAlignmentType.Left;
            textParagraph.TextRanges[0].Fill.FillType = FillFormatType.Solid;
            textParagraph.TextRanges[0].FontHeight = 12;
            textParagraph.TextRanges[0].LatinFont = new TextFont("Calibri Light");
            //set the Bullets
            textParagraph.BulletType = TextBulletType.Symbol;
            textParagraph.BulletStyle = NumberedBulletStyle.BulletSimpChinPeriod;
       
            //need to do this.
            textParagraph.HangingPunctuation = TriState.True;
            textParagraph.Indent = -15f;
