ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus allowing items to be relatively positioned within an electronic document is disclosed. By positioning the items relative to each other, as opposed to absolutely with respect to the page, this allows for a greater versatility in the page layout. Utilization of this method and apparatus means that items can be automatically aligned on a page. Furthermore if additional items are inserted, the position of the original items can be automatically adjusted to ensure that correct alignment is maintained.
