I added "has-focus" support to the .ui file parser now so clicking on
the "Has Focus" checkbox should work in general from now on rather than
having to hack the code Though your milage may vary so always double
check that it works if you make those changes.

Anchoring is horribly complicated and a nightmare for interoperability
with MSO which only has to-character and as-character with our "to page"
the most horrific thing ever, especially in the context of our
change-tracking. I'd go with as-character as the default. Maybe even go
further and something like hide all the rest of the bizarro options
except to-character unless the document already contains them.
