That is an idea that bites both ways. It becomes a documentation problem, and
it also becomes a problem when at some point Microsoft fixes their buggy stuff,
and we are left with a documented base implementation that is really lousy.

But yes, I totally see the logic in "not going our own way" too.

I think a critical piece of information here is that "page" should no longer be
thought of literally as "page" but as some nebulously termed "current
environment frame", so that ENV_FRAME <> PAGE_FRAME and ENV_PRINT_AREA <>
PAGE_PRINT_AREA.

For this specific bug report then, the ideal solution would be for the UI to
only allow "top" and "from top" and dis-allow vertical "entire page" when
following text flow. That would match MSO AFAICS, and still allow for a base
implementation to properly handle the other logical choices.
