expression.position

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

The String value for the position property can be one of the following:

Value Description
empty Object has no special positioning; it follows the layout rules of HTML.
static Object has no special positioning; it follows the layout rules of HTML.
absolute Object is positioned relative to parent element's position— or to the BODY object if its parent element is not positioned— using the top and left properties.
relative Object is positioned according to the normal flow, and then offset by the top and left properties.

For a script to move an element, the element must be defined to have relative or absolute positioning when it is created.

The position property is read-only. Use the setAttribute method to set the position property of the style attribute to one of the above values.

Example

The following example sets the style attribute's position property for the BODY element of the active document.

    If ActiveDocument.body.Style.Position = "" Then
    ActiveDocument.body.Style.setAttribute "position", "absolute"
End If
