I tried that now,since you suggested it. Unfortunately it doesn't work  
like I expected: Left seems to mean right, right seems to mean left, upper  
seems to mean lower and lower seems to mean upper. Upper left seems to be  
default and everything else takes the text further away from where I want  
it.

Ohâ didn't think of thatâ yes, that should work, of course.
