17.18.63 ST_PageBorderOffset

This simple type specifies how the relative positioning of the page borders shall be calculated.

If the value of this attribute is text, then the space attribute on each page border shall be interpreted as the distance from the text margins that shall be left before the page border.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment:

<w:pgBorders w:offsetFrom="page">
  <w:top w:val="dashed" w:space="24" />
  <w:left w:val="dashed" w:space="24" />
  <w:bottom w:val="dashed" w:space="24"/>
  <w:right w:val="dashed" w:space="24"/>
</w:pgBorders>

This fragment specifies that the page borders must be indented 24 points from the page extents.

This is distinct from the following fragment with identical

<w:pgBorders w:offsetFrom="text">
  <w:top w:val="dashed" w:space="24" />
  <w:left w:val="dashed" w:space="24" />
  <w:bottom w:val="dashed" w:space="24"/>
  <w:right w:val="dashed" w:space="24"/>
</w:pgBorders>

In this case, the page borders is offset by 24 points, but in this case, that offset is calculated relative to the text margins. end example]
