Different parts of a sheet
How would you describe the different parts of a piece of paper? Write on the bottom of the paper? on/at the lower left corner of the paper? What preposition to use? thank you very much.

It depends on how specific you want to be. 'at' describes a more general area, 'in' can designate a more specific sense.
She wrote her name at the bottom right.
She wrote her name in the bottom right corner.
Using 'corner' causes a shift to 'in' because it suggests a position closer to the corner than 'at the bottom right' does. We also tend to use 'in' for the middl

Thank you both very much for the very helpful explantion. I have one more question concerning the parts of a page. When the page is divided into nine sections, what would you term the sections of the middle row and the middle verticle row? Thank you very much.

Top left -------Top middle ------Top right
Middle left ------Middle ---------Middle right
Bottom left ---Bottom middle ----Bottom right
Put/Write/Draw [something] at the top right {of the book/paper/page/blackboard etc].
