I do wonder what is the difference as anchor TO a character vs. anchor
AS a character.
Having just been through the mill with OOo on that one.....
Anchor /as/ character puts the graphic (or what-have-you) inline with
the text. It will flow with the text and cause wide lines for example.
Anchor /to/ character anchors to the character, but out-of-line. I don't
[yet] use lo, but if it's the same as OOo the actual positioning
defaults to relative to "somewhere" on the page [I'm hazy on the
reasoning here] unless the attributes are set as position relative to
character (an option missing from a relevant drop-box until 'anchor to'
is set).
There's a thread on the openoffice users list in the last couple of
weeks or so where some good folks were patiently putting me on the right
path. I needed a line of text with symbols glued out-of-line above
particular words and moving with text edits. (Guitar chord symbols over
corresponding text, if you must know :-) The real problem was the OOo
documentation; I can copy relevant descriptions to here from that thread
if it's any use.
