Shows how to work with floating tables properties.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Table wrapped by text.docx')
table = doc.first_section.body.tables[0]
if table.text_wrapping == aw.tables.TextWrapping.AROUND:
    self.assertEqual(aw.drawing.RelativeHorizontalPosition.MARGIN, table.horizontal_anchor)
    self.assertEqual(aw.drawing.RelativeVerticalPosition.PARAGRAPH, table.vertical_anchor)
    self.assertEqual(False, table.allow_overlap)
    # Only Margin, Page, Column available in RelativeHorizontalPosition for HorizontalAnchor setter.
    # The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values.
    table.horizontal_anchor = aw.drawing.RelativeHorizontalPosition.COLUMN
    # Only Margin, Page, Paragraph available in RelativeVerticalPosition for VerticalAnchor setter.
    # The ArgumentException will be thrown for any other values.
    table.vertical_anchor = aw.drawing.RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE
