Remarks

The attachment point specifies where the insertion point aligns with the text boundary. The option you select determines both the text justification and text spill in relation to the text boundary. The options for text justification are Left, Right, and Center. The options for text spill are Top, Mid (middle), and Bottom.

Top Left   left-justified,   spills down	Top Center   center-justified,   spills down	Top Right   right-justified,   spills down

Mid Left   left-justified,   spills up and down	Mid Center   center-justified,   spills up and down	Mid Right   right-justified,   spills up and down

Bottom Left   left-justified,   spills up	Bottom Center   center-justified,   spills up	Bottom Right   right-justified,   spills up

When the AttachmentPoint property is changed, the position of the existing bounding box does not change; the text is simply rejustified within the bounding box. However, the InsertionPoint property reflects the coordinates of the attachment point being used, so the value of the InsertionPoint property will change to reflect the change in justification.
