Paragraphs object (Word)
A collection of Paragraph objects in a selection, range, or document.
Remarks
Use the Paragraphs property to return the Paragraphs collection. The following example formats the selected paragraphs to be double-spaced and right-aligned.
With Selection.Paragraphs
.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceDouble
End With
Use the Add, InsertParagraph, InsertParagraphAfter, or InsertParagraphBefore method to add a new paragraph to a document. The following example adds a new paragraph before the first paragraph in the selection.
Selection.Paragraphs.Add Range:=Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
The following example also adds a paragraph before the first paragraph in the selection.
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore
Use Paragraphs (Index), where Index is the index number, to return a single Paragraph object. The following example right aligns the first paragraph in the active document.
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
The Count property for this collection in a document returns the number of items in the main story only. To count items in other stories use the collection with the Range object.
