<ST_RubyAlign> (Phonetic Guide Text Alignment)

This simple type specifies the possible alignment settings which may be used to determine the placement of phonetic guide text with respect to the base text when this phonetic guide is displayed.

example: 
<w:rubyPr>
  …
  <w:rubyAlign w:val="left"/>
  …
</w:rubyPr>

The <rubyAlign> property is left for the phonetic guide, so the ruby text will be displayed on the left side of the base text. ]
