Shows how to change paragraph spacing and indents.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
format = doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.paragraph_format
# Below are five different spacing options, along with the properties that their configuration indirectly affects.
# 1 -  Left indent:

format.character_unit_left_indent = 10
self.assertEqual(format.left_indent, 120)
# 2 -  Right indent:
self.assertEqual(format.right_indent, 0)
format.character_unit_right_indent = -5.5
self.assertEqual(format.right_indent, -66)
# 3 -  Hanging indent:
self.assertEqual(format.first_line_indent, 0)
format.character_unit_first_line_indent = 20.3
self.assertAlmostEqual(format.first_line_indent, 243.59, delta=0.1)
# 4 -  Line spacing before paragraphs:
self.assertEqual(format.space_before, 0)
format.line_unit_before = 5.1
self.assertAlmostEqual(format.space_before, 61.1, delta=0.1)
# 5 -  Line spacing after paragraphs:
