static: Default. The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the page. The Top and Left attributes are ignored. If the object is anchored inline, which only happens in Microsoft Word, this value is used.
absolute: The element is positioned relative to the parent, using the Top and Left attributes. This value is used by Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel floating objects, and Microsoft PowerPoint slides.
relative: The element is positioned according to the normal flow of the page, but the Top and Left attributes are used. The overlap of overlapping elements is governed by the Z-Index attribute.
