21.1.2.2.12 spcPts (Spacing Points)

This element specifies the amount of white space that is to be used between lines and paragraphs in the form of a text point size. The size is specified using points where 100 is equal to 1 point font and 1200 is equal to 12 point.

[Example: Consider the DrawingML shown below.

<p:txBody>
…
<a:p>
<a:pPr …>
<a:spcBef>
<a:spcPts val="1400"/>
</a:spcBef>
</a:pPr>
    …
<a:t>Sample Text</a:t>
…
</a:p>
…
</p:txBody>

The above paragraph of text is formatted to have a spacing before the paragraph text. This spacing is a size of 14 points due to val="1400". end example]
