Vertical text alignment in Crystal Reports?

In the Crystal Reports editor that comes with Visual Studio (2008) is it possible to align text to the center of a text box rather than to the top?

I can't find the option anywhere and a Google search is not encouraging but I just can't bring myself to believe that they would not include such an obvious feature.

Format text > tab Paragraph, Horizontal alignment: Centered.

Vertical alignment, not horizontal. Obviously I know how to do horizontal - it even has a button.

As a matter of fact, please delete your answer, I would rather have this show up in the unanswered queue.

Thats what comments are for. Please delete your answer. If you leave it it seems like this has more answers than it really does and people are less likely to answer it.

This is not what vertical alignment means bilal. Vertical alignment means that if I have a box that is 50 units high, and text that is 10 units high, then there will be 20 units of space above the text and 20 units of space below the text. It is a basic feature in any layout system I can think of.

There is no vertical alignment for crystal reports that I could find. A potential work-around is programming line breaks.

I can't find an option to vertically align text within a label, but you can vertically align labels within a section. Use the triangle tabs on the left margin to adjust the alignment. You may need to right-click the tab and un-check "Snap to Grid" to get more precise positioning.

@ehsan Stackoverflow is not a forum or a mailing list, you are unlikely to get good answers if you use it like one. For example nobody is likely to find this post since it is not listed as a question, even if someone did, there is simply no way to answer it since I have no idea what your problem is. The standard way to get a good answer is to create a question with a full description of what you're trying to do, what your problem is and what you have tried. It would be helpful to include code and screenshots.
