Tabs... In a text box, use the right-tab setting. Delete all tabs, create a
right tab where you want the alignment to start.
In a table cell, use ctrl+tab.

In Publisher 97, how do I align text vertically within a text box, or within
a cell in a table?

I can center text horizontally, no problem.

I've looked everywhere (Help file, internet) and can't figure it out.
Answers I've found are for other versions of Publisher. Please help, this is
driving me crazy!
