Description: I use cutouts of big graphics for my presentations. That means that often only 10% of the graphic element will be visible on a page. The rest of the graphic element is outside the page. The graphic elements can be bigger than the actual page, so I need to move the graphic further away from the page than the actual page size. Currently I am limited to moving left/right at most 100% of the page size and up/down at most 50% of the page size. This means that instead of doing a simple move, I will have to take my graphic element into an editor - crop the element and load it back in. This also means that I cannot reuse the same element for different cutouts: E.g. if I use the top of an element, I will have to cut the bottom away and thus cannot reuse the bottom of the element. Steps to Reproduce: 1. New > Presentation 2. Make a rectangle twice the size of the page 3. Move the rectangle down so that 95% is outside the page Actual Results: You cannot do that. You can only move the rectangle 50% off the page. Expected Results: The rectangle should be possible to place anywhere.

You just need to change the page size -> https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/238/how-to-change-page-settings/
Does not work for me. I have attached an example. You need to move the circle, so that it only just touches the page. You are not allowed to resize the circle.

The result should look similar to the expected_presentation_results.odp when run.

I just discovered, that you _can_ move it outside the limit by rotating it around a pivot that is not in the center of the object. It is neither very elegant nor very user friendly, but it works as long as the pivot point and one of the handles are inside the limit (one page width horizontally - 0.5 page width vertically). So you cannot move it an arbitrary distance. But it should really not be this hard to simply move an object further away from the page center - especially since the file format seems to support it with no problems. If you feel it is not a bug, I encourage you try building the "Workaround by rotating.odp" without rotating. "Workaround by rotating2.odp" is even harder to build. Here the circle is even further away.
