Yes, I need to set the vertical position first, but how?

My code is something like this
        x = "Bla bla bla ....."
        prf = New Paragraph(x, fnt)
        k = wr.GetVerticalPosition(False)
        If k > 600 Then prf.SpacingBefore = 100
        Doc.Add(prf)

If x is the firts paragraph I am going to print, k=720 and I want to print
it at position 620, so I set SpacingBefore=100, but when I saw the
document, the text is printed at the bigining of the page (720), not at
position 620.
My question 1 is, is SpacingBefore the correct way to do this, or there is
something like wr.SetVerticalPosition=620.
Question 2, why don't works SpacingBefore in this case.

Thanks
