**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class TextBoxAnchor
```

Specifies values used for shape text vertical alignment.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to vertically align the text contents of a text box.

```

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 Shape shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.TEXT_BOX, 200.0, 200.0);

 // Set the "VerticalAnchor" property to "TextBoxAnchor.Top" to
 // align the text in this text box with the top side of the shape.
 // Set the "VerticalAnchor" property to "TextBoxAnchor.Middle" to
 // align the text in this text box to the center of the shape.
 // Set the "VerticalAnchor" property to "TextBoxAnchor.Bottom" to
 // align the text in this text box to the bottom of the shape.
 shape.getTextBox().setVerticalAnchor(verticalAnchor);

 builder.moveTo(shape.getFirstParagraph());
 builder.write("Hello world!");

 // The vertical aligning of text inside text boxes is available from Microsoft Word 2007 onwards.
 doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2007);
 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Shape.VerticalAnchor.docx");
