Paragraphs Collection Object

Description

A collection of Paragraph objects in a selection, range, or document.

Using the Paragraphs Collection

Use the Paragraphs property to return the Paragraphs collection. The following example formats the selected paragraphs to be double-spaced and right-aligned.

With Selection.Paragraphs
    .Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
    .LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceDouble
End With

Use the Add, InsertParagraph, InsertParagraphAfter, or InsertParagraphBefore method to add a new paragraph to a document. The following example adds a new paragraph before the first paragraph in the selection.

Selection.Paragraphs.Add Range:=Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range

The following example also adds a paragraph before the first paragraph in the selection.

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
