Default How do I align text to the bottom of text box?

Insert a single cell table inside the textbox and then set the vertical
alignment of the table cell to one of the bottom alignments (left, Center or
Right)

You may want to set the inside margins of the textbox to 0 and also adjust
the cell margins of the table.

I'm in Word 2007 and I need to have a single text box on my document set
so
that the text aligns automatically at the bottom of that text box, while
all
the other text boxes continue to have the text align at the top.

It should work if I right-click on the text box to get the Format Text Box
window, where there is a tab called Text Box that contains a vertical
alignment option...... but when I do that all of the vertical alignment
options are grayed out and unselectable.

What is going on here? How do I change the alignment of just that one box
in
my document, without affecting any of the others?
