Using the CSS position property
An element can be positioned independently of the text flow by changing its position property
to absolute or to relative (that is, relative to the 'parent', its container).
When an element is placed inside another element, such as a Box, changing its position
property to absolute positions the element absolutely inside its parent.
With the position property of an element set to absolute, the top or bottom and left or right
properties position the element inside its parent with exact values: pixels (px), centimeters (cm),
etc. Negative values are allowed.
Tip
You can quickly change the position property of an element in a Print section by right-clicking
it and selecting Convert to Absolute or Convert to Inline.
For an explanation of all values that the position property can possibly have, see
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp.
Where to use it
In Print sections, setting the position property to absolute can be very useful. It takes the
element out of the text flow, so that the element stays where it is on the page. On Master Pages
