Apply paragraph formatting rules to a named style so all matching paragraphs share those settings in a document.

// Control indentation and spacing across multiple paragraphs at once by updating their shared style in a document.

let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let normalStyle = doc.GetDefaultStyle("paragraph");
let paraPr = Api.CreateParaPr();
paraPr.SetSpacingLine(480, "auto");
paraPr.SetJc("both");
normalStyle.SetParaPr(paraPr);

let paragraph = doc.GetElement(0);
paragraph.AddText("This is a paragraph with the line spacing, text justification and indent set using the paragraph style. ");
paragraph.AddText("We do not change the style of the paragraph itself. ");
paragraph.AddText("Only document-wide paragraph styles are applied.");
doc.Push(paragraph);
