<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Gets the additional extent that is added to each edge of a shape (top, bottom, left, right)
in order to compensate for any drawing effects applied to the shape.</p>
<p>
If the shape is nested inside another shape, this value does not have any effect when displaying the object, 
but can be maintained and used if the object is subsequently ungrouped.

<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>The <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.ShapeSize.Height.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_ShapeSize_Height">Height</a> and <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.ShapeSize.Width.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_ShapeSize_Width">Width</a> properties specify the size of the actual shape;
however, an object can have effects applied that change its overall size, for example a reflection and/or shadow effect.
The additional size for each edge of the shape is stored in this property,
and used to calculate the appropriate wrapping for wrap types
without a wrapping polygon and the appropriate line height for inline objects.</p>
