Vertical alignment in text frame

[Alan Litchfield]

Howdy,

Just what I thought was the case, but well, you know how it is: "I'm sure
there is a way..., it can't be missing, something so basic as that...."

Anyway, that's what I ended up by doing so it's good to see my approach
confirmed :)

Cheers
Alan
