    For any widget in Page 6.0.1 I can't change the anchor from 'nw' to any other option. (Python 3.5.2 32 bit, Updated version of Windows 10 Education as of 12/03/2021)

    I am assuming that you are trying to change the anchor attribute in the attribute editor, correct?

    PAGE should provide you with a dropdown that shows all the possible options for the anchor attribute. Do you get that?

    How did you get the attribute to "nw"? The default is "center" for most widgets.

    Are the widgets that you are trying to set the anchor attribute "standard" tk widgets or ttk widgets?

    Exactly, I am trying to change the anchor attribute in the attribute editor through the dropdown. The default value for all widgets has always been "nw" on my computer and I can't change it from the dropdown menu.

    That is very strange, since (as I said) the default for most widgets is "center".

    You might try un-installing PAGE and re-installing from a new download.

    I've already tried and the issue is still there. However, I may have not un-installed the software in a clean way since the File/Recent Files list did not reset to an empty list.

    Even using Python 3.8.8 32-bit doesn't help at all.

    Have you tried saving the .tcl file and exiting PAGE, then re-opening PAGE and the file?

    I've never heard of this issue and about 80% of the users of PAGE are under Windows, so I can't see it is a PAGE issue.

    You say that using Python 3.8 doesn't help. Are you sure that you are starting PAGE with Python 3.8?

    Yes

    the bat file I use:
    @start /min py -3.8 "%~dp0page.py" %1 %2 %3

    I've just tried to uninstall python 3.8.8 32-bit and then to install python 3.8.8 64-bit. Same result.

    Well, I'll have to let Don field this one.
    I'll let him know this is pending.

    By chance are you using the anchor in the Attributes section or in the Geometry section?

    PAGE doesn't do anything with the anchor in the Geometry section. The one, that I THINK you want is the on in the Attributes section.

    The anchor feature I was talking about is the one in the geometry section. Since I never changed the anchor in the attribute section I didn't even look at it once. Sorry for not being clear enough from the very start.

    I believe the dropdown may appear a bit misleading if it isn't possible to change the geometry anchor.

    PAGE only has it since it IS an option within tcl/tk. However, the geometry anchor attribute is very little used. It's just there experimentally.
