        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            Table table = new Table(StandardBorderStyle.SingleLine);
            table.Width = new Width(TableWidthUnit.Percent, 100);

            // Cell with top alignment
            Run runTop = new Run();
            runTop.AddText("Top aligned");

            Paragraph paraTop = new Paragraph();
            paraTop.Add(runTop);

            Cell cellTop = new Cell();
            cellTop.Add(paraTop);
            cellTop.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignmentType.Top;

            // Cell with center alignment
            Run runCenter = new Run();
            runCenter.AddText("Center aligned");

            Paragraph paraCenter = new Paragraph();
            paraCenter.Add(runCenter);

            Cell cellCenter = new Cell();
            cellCenter.Add(paraCenter);
            cellCenter.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignmentType.Center;

            // Cell with bottom alignment
            Run runBottom = new Run();
            runBottom.AddText("Bottom aligned");

            Paragraph paraBottom = new Paragraph();
            paraBottom.Add(runBottom);

            Cell cellBottom = new Cell();
            cellBottom.Add(paraBottom);
            cellBottom.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignmentType.Bottom;

            Row row = new Row();
            row.Add(cellTop);
            row.Add(cellCenter);
            row.Add(cellBottom);

            table.Add(row);

            doc.Body.Add(table);

            doc.Save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
