CalloutFormat.CustomLength Method (PowerPoint)

Specifies that the first segment of the callout line (the segment attached to the text callout box) retain a fixed length whenever the callout is moved.

Syntax

expression .CustomLength(Length)

expression A variable that represents a CalloutFormat object.

Parameters

Name

Required/Optional

Data Type

Description

Length

Required

Single

The length of the first segment of the callout, in points.

Return Value

Nothing

Remarks

Use the AutomaticLength method to specify that the first segment of the callout line be scaled automatically whenever the callout is moved. Applies only to callouts whose lines consist of more than one segment (types msoCalloutThree and msoCalloutFour).

Applying this method sets the AutoLength property to False and sets the Length property to the value specified for the Length argument.

Example

This example switches between an automatically scaling first segment and one with a fixed length for the callout line for shape one on myDocument. For the example to work, shape one must be a callout.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)

With myDocument.Shapes(1).Callout

    If .AutoLength Then

        .CustomLength 50

    Else

        .AutomaticLength

    End If

End With
