Description mwdiers 2005-03-19 18:51:14 UTC 
Sometimes it is necessary to align the contents of a frame relative to the
bottom of the frame, rather than to the top.  In page layout applications which
support frames (Quark, InDesign, etc.) this is implemented as an "align to
bottom" option, where the bottom of the frame is placed where the bottom of the
text needs to appear. As new lines are added to the frame, the text is "bumped
up" to make room for new lines.  In OpenOffice, the only way to align text or
other objects to some bottom reference point, is to resize or reposition a frame
after its contents have been edited. It would be extremely useful to be able to
set the alignment of a frame to "bottom" and have its contents automatically
aligned to the base of the frame.  This would be especially useful in templates,
where the size of the paragraphs/images would not be known in advance.
Comment 1 mwdiers 2005-03-19 18:58:24 UTC 
This feature request would naturally tie into issue: 21713, which is a request
to allow the contents of a frame to be centered vertically. So an overall
solution would be to allow the verticle alignment of the contents of a frame to
be one of three things: top, center, bottom.
