Description

This class is used to specify the position of tables and paragraphs in a Word document. Although the term "absolute" is used, the position is relative to some location in the document or page. Absolute positioning is set in twips. 1 twip = 1/20 pt = 1/1440 in.

C#
vb.net

Remarks

You cannot create an AbsolutePositioning object using the new keyword. You must get it from a ParagraphFormatting or Table object using the AbsolutePositioning property.

The following sample gets the AbsolutePositioning object of the first table of a document.
