Center	Centers the contents of the paragraph between the left and right indents.
Right	Aligns the contents of the paragraph at the right indent.

Indents

Determines the position of the contents of the paragraph to the left and right margins.

First line	Type or select the distance you want to indent the first line of a paragraph.

Top of Page Before

When a paragraph is the first paragraph in the main body of a page, set the space to use here. Often the space needed must be set specially to separate the first paragraph from headers and carry forwards.

This property is not used if the paragraph

• is not in the main body because it's a header or footer, etc.;

• is in a table;

• is not the first paragraph in a page; or

• value is set to Automatic.

In all those cases the normal Space Before value is used.

Before

Type or select the amount of space you want before the first line of a paragraph.

After

Type or select the amount of space you want after the last line of a paragraph.

Line spacing

Determines the amount of space between lines and between paragraphs.

Select	What it does
Single	Sets the line spacing for each line to the equivalent of 10-point text.
1 ½	Sets the line spacing for each line to one-and-a-half times that of single line spacing. For example, in 1 1/2 line-spaced lines of 10-point text, line spacing is approximately 15 points.
Double	Sets the line spacing for each line to twice that of single line spacing. For example, in double-spaced lines of 10-point text, the line spacing is approximately 20 points.
At least	Sets a minimum line spacing that CaseView can adjust to accommodate larger font sizes that would not otherwise fit within the specified spacing. Type or select the minimum amount of line spacing in the box provided.
At most	Sets a maximum line spacing that CaseView can adjust to accommodate smaller font sizes. Type or select the maximum amount of line spacing in the box provided.
Exactly	Sets a fixed line spacing that CaseView does not adjust. Type or select the amount of line spacing in the box provided.
Multiple	Allows line spacing to be increased or decreased by any percentage. For example, setting line spacing to a multiple of 1.5 will increase line spacing by 50 percent whereas setting line spacing to a multiple of 0.7 will decrease line spacing by 30 percent. Type or select the amount of line spacing in the box provided.

Paragraph height

Determines the height of the paragraph.

Select	What it does
Auto	The paragraph height starts at zero and will be adjusted automatically as text is entered. An unlimited amount of text can be entered.
At least	Sets a minimum height set that increases as new lines are added. An unlimited amount of text can be input. Type or select the minimum paragraph height in the box provided.
At most	Sets a maximum height set that cannot be expanded beyond the specification in the Paragraph height box. Type or select the maximum paragraph height in the box provided.
Exactly	Sets a fixed paragraph height. Type or select the paragraph height in the box provided.
