Is there a "align bottom" for text boxes?

I'd like to have a text box large enough for multiple lines of text that fills from the bottom right up.  It's easy enough to set the attributes to right-justify the text, but I don't see any way to bottom-justify it as well.  Is there?

I have also attempted to use a table to solve the issue, but can't get a table cell to bottom-right-justify either.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

    Short answer: no.

    But you can do do this using a single-cell table

    How exactly did you set up the paratag in the table cell where it wouldn't right-justify and be at the bottom of the table cell? This functionality works for me with no issues.

    Did you set a single-cell table to be almost the same size as the text box (i.e. set the Row Height Limits min/max values)?

    In what dialog box do I specify Row Height Min/Max?  Seems like that would do the trick.  I don't see any such parameters in the Table Designer or the Paragrpah Designer.

    My pgf tab has Basic > Alignment = Right and Table Cell > Cell Vertical Alignment = Bottom.  So I think that's all good, but it is hard to tell because the cell starts as only one row and grows downward as I type.  So, yes I think forcing the cell size to several rows high is all I need to do to accomlpish the task. :-)  But how???
