Thanks for the idea, but this is step-by-step exactly what I said I had tried
and does not work. Are there are other ideas? Or does someone know WHY this
isn't working?

Click Format Text Box to display the Format Text Box dialog box
Click the Text Box tab
Under Vertical Alignment, click Bottom
Click OK

You can use the alignment command buttons in the Paragraph group on the Home
tab to center, right align, etc. the text within each text box

I'm in Word 2007 and have created a couple of text boxes for a specific
layout that I'm working with. I'd like to have the text IN those boxes
aligned to the BOTTOM of the box instead of the default top. But the
Vertical Alignment options under the Text Box tab of the Format AutoShape
menu are all greyed out.

Does anyone know how I can bottom-align this text??

Thanks.
