<field(object)|field's> <bottomMargin> is set to 14. The <default>

<bottomMargin> setting for other controls is 4.

Use the <bottomMargin> <property> to change the amount of blank space

between an <object|object's> bottom edge and its contents.

The <bottomMargin> <property> of a <field> or <button> specifies how

many blank <pixels> are left between the <object|object's> bottom edge

and the lower edge of its text. The <bottomMargin> of a <group(command)>

specifies how far the <group(glossary)|group's> bottom edge extends

below its lowest <object(glossary)>.

An object's <bottomMargin> <property> is equal to <item> 4 of its

<margins> <property>.
