<simplePos> (Simple Positioning Coordinates)

This element specifies the coordinates at which a DrawingML object shall be positioned relative to the top-left edge of its page, when the @simplePos attribute is specified on the <anchor> element (§5.5.2.3).

example: 
<wp:anchor simplePos="true" … >
  <wp:simplePos x="0" y="0" />
  …
</wp:anchor>

The @simplePos attribute has a value of true, which specifies that the DrawingML object's current position shall be dictated by the <simplePos> element, and hence placed at 0,0. ]
