Default Bottom Align

Is there anyway to make text in a bottom aligned cell
STAY at the bottom of the cell when the row breaks across
pages? Currently in Word 97 and Word XP the 'Bottom
Align' property does NOT keep text at bottom aligned at
all if its row breaks across two pages. The text remains
at the bottom of the first page rather than the bottom of
the cell.

Paragraph options; 'keep with next' and 'keep lines
together' and Row option 'allow split across pages' do
not resolve the above effectively.

I tried it and I see what you mean. In Word XP if
you UNCHECK the "Allow Row to break accross pages"
box, then the entire box is put together on the next
page. And the text that is bottom alligned is therefor
where it should be. ~ But I've got a feeling this
isn't acceptable.

I don't know what else to try.

Two other long-shot solutions:

1: Could you do this in Excel & does excel act differently??

2: If it's only a few cells could you just put in blank
lines manually for the few cells that are a problem?

Well, good luck.
