a.   The standard defines the attribute draw:textarea-vertical-align, contained within the element <style:graphic-properties>

OfficeArt Math in Word 2013 supports this attribute on save for text in SmartArt and chart titles and labels.   The conversion between ODF anchoring properties ("draw:textarea-vertical-align" and "draw:textarea-horizontal-align") and OOXML anchoring properties ("bodyPr anchor" and "bodyPr anchorCtr") is dependent on text direction attributes ("style:writing-mode" in ODF and "bodyPr vert" in OOXML). On write, OOXML anchoring properties are evaluated relative to the text direction of the text within the text box (or shape) and then mapped to ODF relative to the text box regardless of text direction within the shape.

b.   The standard defines the attribute draw:textarea-vertical-align, contained within the element <style:graphic-properties>

OfficeArt Math in Excel 2013 supports this attribute on load for text in the following elements:

  • <draw:rect>

  • <draw:polyline>

  • <draw:polygon>

  • <draw:regular-polygon>

  • <draw:path>

  • <draw:circle>

  • <draw:ellipse>

  • <draw:caption>

  • <draw:measure>

  • <draw:frame>

  • <draw:text-box>

  • <draw:custom-shape>

    OfficeArt Math in Excel 2013 supports this attribute on save for text in text boxes and shapes, SmartArt, and chart titles and labels.  The conversion between ODF anchoring properties (draw:textarea-vertical-align and draw:textarea-horizontal-align) and OOXML anchoring properties ("bodyPr anchor" and "bodyPr anchorCtr") is dependent on text direction attributes (style:writing-mode in ODF and "bodyPr vert" in OOXML). On write, OOXML anchoring properties are evaluated relative to the text direction of the text within the text box (or shape) and then mapped to ODF relative to the text box regardless of text direction within the shape. On read, the reverse is true: ODF anchoring values are evaluated relative to the position of the text box, regardless of text direction, and then are mapped to OOXML relative to the text direction within the text box.

c.   The standard defines the attribute draw:textarea-vertical-align, contained within the element <style:graphic-properties>

OfficeArt Math in PowerPoint 2013 supports this attribute on load for text in <the following elements:

  • <draw:rect>

  • <draw:polyline>

  • <draw:polygon>

  • <draw:regular-polygon>

  • <draw:path>

  • <draw:circle>

  • <draw:ellipse>

  • <draw:caption>

  • <draw:measure>

  • <draw:frame>

  • <draw:text-box>

  • <draw:custom-shape>

    The conversion between ODF anchoring attributes (draw:textarea-vertical-align and draw:textarea-horizontal-align) and PowerPoint anchoring properties ("bodyPr anchor" and "bodyPr anchorCtr") is dependent on text direction attributes (style:writing-mode attribute in ODF and "bodyPr vert" in PowerPoint). On write, PowerPoint anchoring properties are evaluated relative to the text direction of the text within the text box (or shape) and then mapped to ODF relative to the text box regardless of text direction within the shape. On read, the reverse is true: ODF anchoring values are evaluated relative to the position of the text box, regardless of text direction, and then are mapped to PowerPoint relative to the text direction within the text box.
