Create a presentation.

import mlreportgen.ppt.*

ppt = Presentation('myVAlign.pptx');
open(ppt);
slide1 = add(ppt,'Title and Content');

Create a table using a cell array. Set the vertical alignment for each entry.

table1 = Table();
row1 = TableRow();
p1 = Paragraph('top');
r1e1 = TableEntry();
r1e1.Style = {VAlign('top'),FontSize('.5in')};
append(r1e1,p1);
append(row1,r1e1);

p2 = Paragraph('middle');
r1e2 = TableEntry();
r1e2.Style = {VAlign('middle')};
append(r1e2,p2);
append(row1,r1e2);

row2 = TableRow();
p3 = Paragraph('bottom');
r2e1 = TableEntry();
r2e1.Style = {VAlign('bottom')};
append(r2e1,p3);
append(row2,r2e1);

p4 = Paragraph('middle centered');
r2e2 = TableEntry();
r2e2.Style = {VAlign('middleCentered'),FontSize('.5in')};
append(r2e2,p4);
append(row2,r2e2);

append(table1,row1);
append(table1,row2);

Add the table to the slide, generate the presentation, and open the myVAlign presentation.

replace(slide1,'Content',table1);
close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);
