The Text object’s alignHorizontal and alignVertical properties control the alignment in the horizontal and vertical plane separately. They also include options to justify the text. When either property is set, the alignment property is also changed to match (justify becomes top or left). When the alignment property is set, the other two properties are changed to match.
Text wrapping is controlled by the wrap property.
