StructAlignProperties.VerticalCharacterShift

Property VerticalCharacterShift As Long

The VerticalCharacterShift property returns or sets the amount to vertically shift characters of text.

The value of a vertical character shift is measured as a percentage of the character’s point size. For example, if .VerticalCharacterShift=50, the character is vertically shifted a distance that is 50% of the character’s point size.

The following code example specifies a vertical character shift of -10% for the second and third words of the text shape:

Sub Test() 
 ActiveShape.Text.AlignPropertiesInRange(2, 2, 
cdrWordIndexing).VerticalCharacterShift = -10 
End Sub
