Bullet indentation

[andreacalvi]

Hello I am trying to generate bullets with the default indentation that powerpoint would add.

This is sample code I am using

Code: Select all

            var fileName = @"test.pptx";
            Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
            ppt.LoadFromFile(fileName);
            var finalPpt = new Presentation();
            finalPpt.Slides.RemoveAt(0);
            finalPpt.SlideSize.Type = ppt.SlideSize.Type;
            var generatedSlide = ppt.Slides[0];
            var shape = generatedSlide.Shapes[0];
            var tp = (generatedSlide.Shapes[1] as IAutoShape).TextFrame.Paragraphs[0];
            tp.BulletType = TextBulletType.Symbol;

            finalPpt.Slides.Append(generatedSlide);

however the result is a bullet that has text right next to it. If I try to add a bullet with powerpoint instead i get this indented with different space.
Is there a way to get the same indentation level?

seems like
tp.Indent or tp.DefaultTabSize won't help


Attaching result
lib generated is bullet generated with library while pp generated is bullet generated with defaul pp bullet

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please note that Microsoft PowerPoint will set a hanging indent for the paragraph when adding bullets, but Spire.Presentation not, and the default indent is 0. To add an indent value, please refer to the code below. If you have any other questions, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

...
foreach (TextParagraph para in shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs)
{
    //Add the bullets
    para.BulletType = TextBulletType.Symbol;
    para.HangingPunctuation = TriState.True;
    para.Indent = -15;
}
...

Sincerely,
William
