Please use a current daily build. The wording has changed.

"Entire page" = "Left of page text area" + "Page text area" + "Right of 
page text area".

"Entire paragraph area" = "Left of paragraph text area" + "Paragraph 
text area" + "Right of paragraph text area".

The "Left of page text area" is the sum of "Gutter" (if left) + "left 
page margin" + "page border left" + "page padding left" as set in the 
page properties dialog.

The "Left of paragraph text area" is the sum of "Indent before" + 
"paragraph border" + "paragraph padding" as set in the paragraph 
properties dialog.

Notice, that the column distance is not included in the "Entire 
paragraph area".

Left, Center and Right use areas as reference.
"From left" takes the left edge of the area as reference line.

You should insert a small image and test the various positions.

In general the preview illustration describes it correctly. But some 
bugs exist.

When using anchor "to character" you get some additional references. 
Anchor "as character" has its own set of references. For testing these 
anchors use a large font size, a line with different font sizes, a large 
line spacing and a small image.

I'll sent you a document with some lines to indicate the horizontal 
areas. In addition I will sent you an older document which I have 
created for the ODF TC. Describing the reference areas is still a not 
solved task in the ODF TC. A problem in all that descriptions is that 
common using of terms like "margin" and "border" does not correspond to 
the technical attributes "fo:margin" and "fo:border".

It would be really good to get a document with all that reference areas 
and lines explained. I do not mean a technical one with ODF attributes 
but a document for users about the kind of positioning possible in 
LibreOffice.

Kind regards
Regina
