I am working with multiline form fields and would like to vertically center the text string. It appears that this is possible by using richValue and the spans object. However, I can not find any documentation on the spans[n].property that will allow such formatting. Any information on where to find the spec or if this is possible would be much appreciated! Thank You in advance.

The Horizonatal alignment is listed as a property of the Spans object. However there is no reference to the Vertical alignment of the text. It at first appears to not be supported by Adobe javascript.

What do you know, it's not in there:(
There are lots of undocumented entries for the Span Object. One way to see what's going on is to use the "toSource()" fucntion. Like this
var cSpn = this.getField("Text1").richValue.toSource();
Just change a few Rich Text parameters like text color, alignment, etc. Then run this code from the JavaScript Console Window.
Reset the capured state with this code
this.getField("Text1").richValue = eval(cSpn)
I didn't see a vertical alignment parameter and when I restored the saved state the text reverted to "Top Vertical" instead of "center vertical" aligment, showing that the vertical alignment is not saved.
