Public Class Paragraph
		Inherits Element

Remarks
To create a new paragraph, use Element.InsertParagraphBefore() or Element.InsertParagraphAfter(). Each of these methods take a single argument of type NamedStyle. This argument can be null. If it is null, the Normal style is used. This method can be called from the Document object because `Document` inherits from the Element class.

          paragraph.InsertTextAfter("This is a new paragraph.");
