Description: When text within a document is rendered, typically, each character is displayed immediately following the previous piece of content (another character, an image, and so on), according to the lexical order of the underlying WordprocessingML. The presence of this field moves the starting point at which the text that lexically follows the field is displayed to the right or left, up or down, or to a specific horizontal or vertical position. It does not affect the display of other run content (e.g., images). The switches used by this field can

cause text to overlap when it is displayed. If the text is displayed within the constraints of a fixed page, repositioned text is not display if it is moved beyond the print margins of the current page (even if the target location would logically appear on a previous/following page).

Field Value: None.

Switches: Zero or more of the following field-specific-switches.

\d

Moves the text that follows the field down by the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument.

\l

Moves the text that follows the field left by the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument.

\r

Moves the text that follows the field right by the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument.

\u

Moves the text that follows the field up by the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument.

\x

Moves the text that follows the field the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument from the left edge of the column, frame, or text box.

\y

Moves the text that follows the field the integral number of points specified by text in this switch’s field-argument. This shift is the vertical position relative to the page. The entire line of text that contains the field is moved. This switch is ignored if it specifies a location outside the page margins or if the switch is used inside any of the following: table, text box, footnote, endnote, annotation, header, or footer.

[Example: When the following WordprocessingML is displayed:

<w:r>
  <w:t>XX</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instrText="ADVANCE
<w:r>
  <w:t>XX</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instrText="ADVANCE
<w:r>
  <w:t>XX</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instrText="ADVANCE
<w:r>
  <w:t>+</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:fldSimple w:instrText="ADVANCE
<w:r>
  <w:t>ZZ</w:t>
</w:r>

The results are:

XX
XX
    XX +
