{remarks}You cannot create an [AbsolutePositioning|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.
