Vertical Alignment Bottom

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

I would really love to be able to set the vertical alignment for
regular paragraphs. I enter this request regularly in the FrameMaker
wishlist:

However, the idea with the table is very good. I will test it later
today. If you have to take into account that translations have less
or more lines than your source text, you cannot use a static solutions.
Thanks for this tip.

Best regards,

Winfried
