[Please excuse that the initial attempt to post this used HTML (for a table, to enhance clarity)
but that was more mangled than anticipated in the list conversion to plaintext. So (again for
clarity) I post again, in plaintext.]
Anchoring an entity (frame, box, image, ...) is done with respect to position references:
*Horizontal*:
Paragraph area
Paragraph text area
Left paragraph border
Right paragraph border
Left page border
Right page border
Entire page
Page text area
*Vertical*:
Margin
Paragraph text area
Entire page
Page text area
Where are these references defined? They are not covered in the Help or the Writer Guide or the
OpenDocument Format OASIS standard, and the names and experimentation have not given a clear
picture. For example, what are these differences:
1. Top (or Bottom) with respect to Margin or Page text area?
2. Left with respect to Left page border or Entire page?
3. Left with respect to Left paragraph border or Paragraph area or Paragraph text area or
Page text area?
4. Right with respect to Right page border or Entire page?
5. Right with respect to Right paragraph border or Paragraph area or Paragraph text area or
Page text area?
I'm sure these references are defined somewhere, and I have just missed it; can someone point me in
the right direction? If there is not a little graphical aid somewhere, I would like to produce
one, but don't have the clarity of definitions to do so.
Thanks,
John
