DistanceFromLeft Property

Returns or sets the space (in points) between the text and the left border. Read/write Long.

Note  Using this property with a page border, you can set either the space between the text and the left page border or the space between the left edge of the page and the left page border. Where the distance is measured from depends on the value of the DistanceFrom property.

Example

This example adds a border around each frame in the active document and sets the distance between the frame and the border to 5 points.

Dim frameLoop As Frame

For Each frameLoop In ActiveDocument.Frames
    With frameLoop.Borders
        .Enable = True
        .DistanceFromLeft = 5
        .DistanceFromRight = 5
        .DistanceFromTop = 5
        .DistanceFromBottom = 5
    End With
Next frameLoop
		

This example adds a border around the first paragraph in the active document and sets the distance between the text and the left border to 3 points.

With ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Borders
    .Enable = True
    .DistanceFromLeft = 3
End With
