2.2.8.5 Text Block
The text runs associated with a shape are rendered using a rectangular composition area called a text block. A text block specifies information related to the visual appearance of the text runs as a whole.
A text block uses a collection of Cell_Type elements contained under the ShapeSheet_Type element for a shape to specify position, transform, margin, alignment, direction, and background information for the text runs associated with the shape. A collection of Cell_Type elements that define how text is arranged in the composition area of a text block that is detailed in the following table.
