Primarily seeking clarifications for the sake of documentation. Others must decide what is "expected" behavior and whether there are deviations from that expectation in the current implementation. Try choosing menu Format - Paragraph - Alignment tab - Text-to-text, Alignment: If set to Bottom, all blue rectangles will be aligned vertically. Tested with version 7.2.3.2 on Linux. (In reply to LeroyG from comment #2) Thanks Leroy. The first question in the OP is about the "Character" option in the "to" control in the Position and Size dialog for shape. The issue is not to align the shapes across the big letters, but to explain, for each letter, the size of the "Character" area used in the Position and Size dialog for positioning the shape, and how that area interacts with padding and borders applied to the different letters (as described above each letter). The different big letters in the attachment are provided to show examples of that interaction. (I should have made these points more explicit from the start.) Your example is interesting, but uses another positioning feature in a different dialog than the OP. The question is whether an object anchored horizontally left To Character and vertically at the Bottom should follow the bottom padding/spacing of this character. I'd say yes. Opening this document in MSO breaks the position of blue/aqua rectangles.

No answer from developer side for moren than 18 month. So I'd like to give a kindly reminder. |
