Specifies a vertical anchor area for a floating box.
type
TRVVerticalAnchor = (rvvanLine, rvvanParagraph, rvvanPage,
rvvanMainTextArea, rvvanTopMargin, rvvanBottomMargin);
property VerticalAnchor: TRVVerticalAnchor;
A text box is positioned vertically relative to the area specified in this property.
It is important to understand that each area has a height; for example, when printing using TRVPrint, a top margin starts from the page's top edge and ends at Margins.Top.
If RelativeToCell=True, and a sidenote (or a text box item) is inserted in a table cell, then this property defines an area of this cell instead of a page.

Differences from Microsoft Word*:
▪In MS Word, a "line" anchor does not have a height. MS Word uses only a top line coordinate, so a center and a bottom alignments relative to a line are different in TRichView and MS Word.
▪MS Word does not support alignment relative to a paragraph (so TRichView exports it as an alignment to a line).
▪MS Word does not support a relative (percent) alignment relative to a line or a paragraph (so TRichView exports them as absolute positions with zero offsets).
▪MS Word does not implement all options for vertical positioning relative to a cell:
•absolute positions for all options (except for a line and a paragraph) are calculated relative to the cell area minus cellpadding (i.e. top of cell + top cell padding).
•any alignment or percent position moves the box exactly to the cell area minus cellpadding (i.e. top of cell + top cell padding).
