DoNotVerticallyAlignInTextBox class

doNotVertAlignInTxbx (Ignore Vertical Alignment in Textboxes)

This element specifies whether applications shall allow text within text boxes to be vertically aligned when the v-text-anchor property is set within the parent VML shape.

Typically, if when the v-text-anchor property is set within the parent VML shape, then based on the value of that property, the text is top, center, or bottom aligned appropriately. This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that the property shall be ignored, and instead the contents of the table shall always be top-aligned.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML table with a single center-aligned text box:

<v:shape id="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t202" style="v-text-anchor:middle">
  <v:textbox>
    <w:txbxContent>
      <w:p>
        <w:r>
          <w:t>This text is centered vertically.</w:t> 
        </w:r>
      </w:p>
    </w:txbxContent>
  </v:textbox>
</v:shape>

The default presentation of this document results in the contents of the text box being center aligned, as follows:

However, if this compatibility setting is turned on:

<w:compat>
  <w:doNotVertAlignInTxbx />
</w:compat>

Then the text must always be top aligned, regardless of the -text-anchor property, resulting in the following output:

end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in Part 1, §17.17.4.
