Having just been through the mill with OOo on that one.....

Anchor /as/ character puts the graphic (or what-have-you) inline with 
the text. It will flow with the text and cause wide lines for example.

Anchor /to/ character anchors to the character, but out-of-line. I don't 
[yet] use lo, but if it's the same as OOo the actual positioning 
defaults to relative to "somewhere" on the page [I'm hazy on the 
reasoning here] unless the attributes are set as position relative to 
character (an option missing from a relevant drop-box until 'anchor to' 
is set).

There's a thread on the openoffice users list in the last couple of 
weeks or so where some good folks were patiently putting me on the right 
path. I needed a line of text with symbols glued out-of-line above 
particular words and moving with text edits. (Guitar chord symbols over 
corresponding text, if you must know :-)  The real problem was the OOo 
documentation; I can copy relevant descriptions to here from that thread 
if it's any use.
