I have a text box with variable text in it (specifically, an address and
bar
code). The bar code is the last line in the box. I'd like to align the
text
from the bottom of the box, so that the extra space that is caused by the
varying lines in the addresses ends up in the top of the box. Can I do
that?
How?
