Only when an image is anchored 'To Page' does it not move with the content it
is attached to, as its position is fixed on that particular page.

Doc(x) doesnt translate 1 to 1 between LO's anchor settings (bug 49179).
Microsoft doesnt present users with both anchor and wrap options by default.
They show a list of wrap options, all of which are anchored 'To Character'
though it never shows the anchor in the interface, except for 'In Line' wrap
which is anchored 'As Character'.

Setting anchor to 'To Page', 'To Paragraph' and 'To Character', all act the
same way when moving an image on a page, only that 'To Page', the image doesnt
move along with text movement.

MS Word, iWork and Google Docs use 'To Character' when they allow an image to
be wrapped, but most dont show the anchor position indicator on the page.
