This simple type specifies the vertical position to which the parent object has been anchored in the document. This anchor position shall be used as the base location to determine the final vertical position of the object in the document.

[Example: Consider a text frame which should be positioned one inch to the right of its column in a left-to-right document. This text frame would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:pPr>

<w:framePr … w:y="1440" w:vAnchor="page" />

</w:pPr>

These frame vertical anchor properties specify that they are relative to the anchor paragraph's page. end example]

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

The following are possible enumeration values for this type:
