The length of the first segment of the callout, in points. |
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 the first shape on the active document. For the example to work, the first shape must be a callout.
Dim docActive As Document
Set docActive = ActiveDocument
With docActive.Shapes(1).Callout
If .AutoLength Then
.CustomLength 50
Else
.AutomaticLength
End If
End With
