How can I align text to the bottom of a text box rather than the top and
how
do I set this up in a subroutine

Create a one-row one-column table in the textbox, and set the vertical
alignment of that cell to bottom

I recommend you manually create a textbox of the appropriate shape & size
with the table in it, and save it as an Autotext entry. Then all you need do
in code is insert the Autotext entry at the appropriate place.

Thanks for prompt reply.

I'm setting up a template for a client. Unfortunately they think that Word
behaves in the same way as Quark.

The text box itself is generated via a subroutine, I have to position the
type so that its baseline is a particular depth - hence aligning at bottom
allows for either one or two line caption. I'll have a play using a table
cell.
