Reset Method

Applies To

Font object, InlineShape object, ListGallery object, Paragraph object, ParagraphFormat object, Paragraphs collection object, RoutingSlip object.

Description

Font object: Removes manual character formatting (formatting not applied using a style). For example, if you manually format a word as bold and the underlying style is plain text (not bold), the Reset method removes the bold format.

Paragraph, Paragraphs, or ParagraphFormat object: Removes manual paragraph formatting (formatting not applied using a style). For example, if you manually right align a paragraph and the underlying style has a different alignment, the Reset method changes the alignment to match the formatting of the underlying style.
