Vertical alignment of text within a textbox

[andi@xenoage.com]

I'd like to vertically align text within a textbox. This works with Microsoft Word, but I'm not able to do it with Spire.Doc.

Microsoft Word seems to support two different types of "text boxes".

See the following screenshot with the green arrows for the "first type". Seems to be called "AutoForm". Sorry for the German translation of the user interface. This is the type of textbox I get when I use Spire.Doc's "AppendTextBox" method. There is no possibility to vertically align text.

See the following screenshots with the orange arrows for the "second type". Using this type of text box, I have a different set of options for formatting, including vertical alignment:

Is it possible to create an item of the "second type" in Spire.Doc?
Please tell me if you need screenshots in English to understand my issue.
