CalloutFormat.CustomDrop Method

Word Developer Reference

Sets the vertical distance (in points) from the edge of the text bounding box to the place where the callout line attaches to the text box.

Syntax

expression.CustomDrop(Drop)

expression   Required. A variable that represents a CalloutFormat object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
Drop Required Single The drop distance, in points.

Remarks

This distance is measured from the top of the text box unless the AutoAttach property is set to True and the text box is to the left of the origin of the callout line (the place that the callout points to), in which case the drop distance is measured from the bottom of the text box.

If the PresetDrop method was previously used to set the drop for the specified callout, use the following statement before using the CustomDrop method so that the custom drop setting takes effect.

Visual Basic for Applications
  PresetDrop msoCalloutDropCustom

Example

This example cancels any preset drop that's been set for the first shape in the active document, sets the custom drop distance to 14 points, and specifies that the drop distance always be measured from the top. For the example to work, the first shape must be a callout.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Dim docActive As Document

Set docActive = ActiveDocument

Visual Basic for Applications
  With docActive.Shapes(1).Callout
    .PresetDrop msoCalloutDropCustom
    .CustomDrop 14
    .AutoAttach = False
End With
