Specifies inner margin values for textbox text. Read/write. String.

Applies To

TextBox

Tag Syntax

<v: element inset=" expression ">

Script Syntax

element .inset="expression"

expression=element.inset

Remarks

The internal text margin value is specified as a string containing four values, each separated by commas or spaces. The values measure inset from the left, top, right, and bottom edges of the box specified by the TextBoxRect attribute of Path. Missing values are set to the default, which is "0.1in, 0.05in, 0.1in, 0.05in".

For rotated shapes in browsers that do not support rotation, the bounding box will snap to the closest multiple of 90 degrees.

VML Standard Attribute

Example

The textbox will have an inset margin of 10 pixels.
