CalloutFormat.AutomaticLength method (Publisher)

  • Article

Specifies that the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box) be scaled automatically when the callout is moved.

Syntax

expression.AutomaticLength

expression A variable that represents a CalloutFormat object.

Remarks

Calling this method sets the AutoLength property of the specified object to msoTrue.

Use the CustomLength method to specify that the first segment of the callout line retain the fixed length returned by the Length property whenever the callout is moved. Applies only to callouts whose lines consist of more than one segment (types msoCalloutThree and msoCalloutFour).

Example

This example switches between an automatically-scaling first segment and one with a fixed length for the callout line for the first shape in the active publication. For the example to work, this shape must be a callout.

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1).Callout 
 If .AutoLength Then 
 .CustomLength Length:=50 
 Else 
 .AutomaticLength 
 End If 
End With
