<vAlign> (Table Cell Vertical Alignment)

This element specifies the vertical alignment for text within the current table cell. The vertical alignment of this text is determined by the value of the @val attribute.

example:

R1C1

This requirement would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:tc>
  <w:tcPr>
    <w:vAlign w:val="bottom" />
  </w:tcPr>
  <w:r>
    <w:t>R1C1</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:tc>

The <vAlign> element specifies the vertical alignment of the cell contents, in the case, the bottom of the table cell. ]
