text flow

Words moving onward

Text flow describes how text moves through a document or layout.

In word processing and design, text flow refers to the automatic continuation of text from one area to another—from column to column, page to page, or around images and other elements: Adjust the text flow so the caption doesn't break across pages.

Good text flow keeps reading natural and uninterrupted.
