| ShapeVerticalAlignment | An enumeration member that specifies the shape’s vertical alignment. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |

| None | The Shape.OffsetY property specifies the shape’s position relative to the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property. |
| Top | The shape is aligned to the top of the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property. |
| Center | The shape is centered relative to the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property. |
| Bottom | The shape is aligned to the bottom of the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property. |
| Inside | The shape is aligned to the top of the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property on odd pages, and is aligned to the bottom of the specified element on even pages. The Rich Text Editor aligns the shape to the top of the specified element for both odd and even pages. |
| Outside | The shape is aligned to the bottom of the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property on odd pages, and is aligned to the top of the specified element on even pages. The Rich Text Editor aligns the shape to the bottom of the specified element for both odd and even pages. |
Remarks
Use the following properties to align a shape on the page:
Shape.HorizontalAlignment - aligns the shape horizontally relative to the element defined by the Shape.RelativeHorizontalPosition property.
Shape.VerticalAlignment - aligns the shape vertically relative to the element defined by the Shape.RelativeVerticalPosition property.
The following example displays a rectangle in the center of the page below the top margin:
Document document = wordProcessor.Document;
// Create a rectangle.
Shape rectangle = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, new SizeF(500, 300));
// Align the rectangle horizontally and vertically.
rectangle.RelativeHorizontalPosition = ShapeRelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
rectangle.HorizontalAlignment = ShapeHorizontalAlignment.Center;
rectangle.RelativeVerticalPosition = ShapeRelativeVerticalPosition.Margin;
rectangle.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Top;
Set the alignment values to None, and use the Shape.OffsetX and Shape.OffsetY properties to specify the absolute position of the shape on the page.
