Specifies a horizontal anchor area for a floating box.
type
TRVHorizontalAnchor = (rvhanCharacter, rvhanPage, rvhanMainTextArea,
rvhanLeftMargin, rvhanRightMargin, rvhanInnerMargin, rvhanOuterMargin);
property HorizontalAnchor: TRVHorizontalAnchor;
A text box is positioned horizontally relative to the area specified in this property.
It is important to understand that each area has a width; for example, when printing using TRVPrint, a left margin starts from the page's left edge and ends at Margins.Left.
If RelativeToCell=True, and a sidenote (or a text box item) is inserted in a table cell, then this property defines an area of this cell instead of a page.

Differences from Microsoft Word*:
▪In MS Word, a "character" anchor does not have a width, it is just a position. In TRichView, sidenote character has a width, so a center and a right alignments relative to a character of a sidenote are slightly different in TRichView and in MS Word (for simple text boxes, they are identical).
▪MS Word does not support a relative (percent) alignment relative to a character (so TRichView exports it as an absolute position with zero offset).
