Previous versions don't support vertical alignment in text boxes. You can
insert a single table cell in the text box and use the vertical alignment
feature available in tables.

Hi there,
I am following instruction from:

It says:

Vertical alignment
Shapes showing vertical alignment of text
1. Right-click the border of the shape or text box.
2. On the shortcut menu, do one of the following:
* For a shape, click Format AutoShape, and then click the
Text Box tab.
Note The Text Box tab is unavailable in a shape unless
the shape contains text.
* For a text box, click Format Text Box, and then click the
Text Box tab.
3. Under Vertical alignment, click the option that you want.

unfortunately when I reach the "vertical alignment" option it is
grayed out. The documentation does nto explain what I need to do in
this case.
thanks !
switching to word 2007 file format is a solution, but I can't used it
as I need to export the doc in word 2003 for my coworkers.
