I've been having trouble using the Format Position command to locate paragraphs
on a page. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is a bug
in WfW.

To make a title page, I have two paragaphs on page one: the title and my name.
Selecting the title, I set its position to Left and Center. This works fine
(switching to File Preview). Then, I select my name and position it Left
and Bottom. Going to File Preview, it doesn't even show up on the page.

After a little toying around, I found WfW was always positioning the second
paragraph *relative* to the first (no matter whether I selected relative to
page or margin). So, the name paragraph was way off the bottom of the page.
I worked around the difficulty by positioning the second five inches down
from the first.

What's going on here? Shouldn't everything be position relative to the page
or margin according to which option I choose?
