238010	2004-05-21 01:36:00	Hi Team I need to bottom-align address-text in a Word text box but can only find top or centre alignment options. The work around at present is to enter line breaks to move it to the bottom, but I would prefer a permanent solution. Any ideas? Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
238011	2004-05-21 01:51:00	Easiest way is to convert the text box to a frame as frames can be positioned relative to the page/margin both horizontally (left, middle, right) and vertically (top, middle, bottom). Note you can easily change a text box to a frame by right-clicking on the text box and selecting 'format text box', then go to 'text box' and choose 'convert to frame' (well for word 97 anyway!). If that isn't a goer, then you can always try inserting a 1x1 table of a fixed height (probably the same height as your text box) and set the alignment of the table to be at the bottom.

238013	2004-05-21 04:55:00	> Could you use the "Footer" box? Could you expand on that a little Peter, my knowledge of Word (2000) is relatively limited and I'm not sure how I can position a footer box at the top of the page. What would happen if I wanted to use a footer box at the bottom as well? Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

Treat the Header or Footer as a separate document to insert text, graphics, pictures, etc. The icon you want is about third from right - a small page with yellow tab at top and bottom.	Scouse (83)
