Application, Task, or Window object: Returns or sets the horizontal position of the active document (Application) or the specified task or window, in points. Read/write Long.

Shape or ShapeRange object: Returns or sets the horizontal position of the specified shape or shape range, in points. Can also be one of the following WdShapePosition constants: wdShapeLeft, wdShapeRight, wdShapeCenter, wdShapeInside, or wdShapeOutside. Read/write Single.

Remarks

The position of a shape is measured from the upper-left corner of the shape's bounding box to the shape's anchor. The RelativeHorizontalPosition property controls whether the anchor is positioned alongside the character, the column, the margin, or the edge of the page.

For a ShapeRange object that contains more than one shape, the Left property sets the horizontal position of each shape.
