para.getFormat().setBeforeAutoSpacing(false);
para.getFormat().setBeforeSpacing(10);
para.getFormat().setAfterAutoSpacing(false);
para.getFormat().setAfterSpacing(10);
//Set the character spacing
for (DocumentObject object :(Iterable<DocumentObject>)para.getChildObjects())
{
TextRange textRange= (TextRange) object;
textRange.getCharacterFormat().setCharacterSpacing(3f);
}
//Insert the paragraph
document.getSections().get(0).getParagraphs().insert(2, para);
