"Position from left of entire paragraph area by 0.70cm"

still no good.

I don't know, I'm not a linguist... it just isn't. The imperative verb
"position" can take a direct object and an indirect object with preposition
'at': "position X at Y". You can't "position X from Y".

I'm trying to explain why I don't see this change as an improvement.
