tdf#145135 - Writer object positioning help page fixes
1) Describe relationships between anchor, reference point and
object.
2) Expand the description of "to character" to highlight that the
reference point is the start of the paragraph containing the
character, not the character to which the anchor is attached.
Give examples.
The Guidebook is correct but this help page wasn't.
3) Attempt to explain the difference in the effect of moving the
anchor compared to moving the object itself. Remind users that
an objects wrap and alignment settings constrain this movement
and final positioning.
