Vertical Orientation of text

[MaxEd]

This is my first post here. How do I get the text in the textbox to stay on the bottom rather than the top. Only way I can think of is creat the field and use a 2nd text box within it to get that effect. Thank you for any help you can all give me.

I think I know what you are referring to but correct me if I am wrong. You are referring to the text characters appearing to be top justified in a text box. This appears that way because you have created a text box that is too tall for the font size.

From your comments you want the reverse to be true. You want the text box to be taller than the font size but you want it to appear to be bottom justified in the text box object.

If this is true and I am not sure of the reason for your need I think you can achieve this effect but simply creating a rectanble or a text box behind your textbox and manipulating the color, border style, border color, etc of both to get the effect that you want.

Get back with more information about why and how you want your text to look and maybe I can be more specific with a solution.

Bob,

Here's how my report sort of looks like as drawn below.
I have gridlines, so I have make each cell the same size.
When I put text into comlumn1 it fills from the top down to the bottom. However, my column 2 is a value so it ends up on the top of the text box. I like to format it so my vlau ends up on the bottom instead rather than the top.

problem:

Colum1 Column2
______________ ______________
| text, text | value |
|_text_________|______________|

desired result:

Colum1 Column2
______________ ______________
| text, text | |
|_text_________|_____value____|
