Can't set Vertical Align for TextBox

Hi,
I’m using Aspose Word 17.9 and I created a TextBox, but I can’t set vertical align for it.
This is my code:

Document doc = new Document();
doc.CompatibilityOptions.DoNotVertAlignInTxbx = false;
doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(Aspose.Words.Settings.MsWordVersion.Word2013);

Shape _tb = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
_tb.Width = ConvertUtil.PixelToPoint(200);
_tb.Height = ConvertUtil.PixelToPoint(60);
_tb.FillColor = Color.Transparent;
_tb.AppendChild(new Paragraph(doc));
_tb.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
_tb.TextBox.InternalMarginBottom = 0f;
_tb.TextBox.InternalMarginLeft = 0f;
_tb.TextBox.InternalMarginRight = 0f;
_tb.TextBox.InternalMarginTop = 0f;
_tb.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;

_tb.Stroked = false;

var _run = new Run(doc, "ABC");
_tb.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(_run);
_tb.FirstParagraph.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;

var _par = new Paragraph(doc);
_par.AppendChild(_tb);
doc.FirstSection.Body.AppendChild(_par);
doc.Save("a.docx");

Process.Start("a.docx");

Hi, this is my Word document genarated by Aspose:

In MS Word:
Insert -> Shape -> TextBox -> Put sample Text -> Text Align -> Middle.

Thank and Best Regard.

@DungLT,

Please see these input/output Word documents (textbox.zip (21.0 KB)) and try running the following code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\temp\\textbox.docx");

NodeCollection shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true);
Shape textBoxShape = shapes[0] as Shape;
if (textBoxShape != null)
{
    textBoxShape.TextBox.VerticalAnchor = TextBoxAnchor.Middle;
}

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\19.8.docx");

Hope, this helps.
