Above code would help us to centre a text alignment of variable length in a text box with 5 lines, now Set "Can Grow" to true and it will centre the text vertically in a 5 to 6 line textbox.

To vertically align the text to the bottom within the text box replace

Code
Truncate(NumberOfLines/2) -
Truncate(Length({YourText})/(LineLength * 2));

with
Truncate(NumberOfLines) -
Truncate(Length({YourText})/(LineLength));
