Paul,

Here is my use case. Currently if I specify a border for a cell, the 
text bleeds into the border on the bottom.  If I could middle align the 
text and make the cell a little bigger I could solve that problem.  My 
solution now is using rectangles instead and it's a hack.

Also, it would come in handy if you were word wrapping text, but I have 
to word wrap manually too.

Regards,

Nate
