ST_VerticalAlignRun (Vertical Alignment Run Types)

Defines the possible settings for vertical alignment of a run of text. This is used to get superscript or subscript text without altering the font size properties of the rest of the text run.

[Example:

<rPr>

<vertAlign val="subscript"/>

</rPr>

end example]

The above example shows a run which shall be positioning as subscript when displaying its contents. The resulting run is positioned as subscript, therefore it is rendered in a smaller size below the default baseline location for the contents of the run.
