2.4.5 MSOTXFL

Referenced by: txflTextFlow

The MSOTXFL enumeration, as shown in the following table, specifies the text flow rules for a body of text. These rules encompass the rotation of individual character glyphs, the relational positioning of a sequence of character glyphs, and the relational positioning of a sequence of lines of text. The descriptions in the table use spatial direction terminology that is relative to the container of the body of text. The exact placement of the text is application dependent and varies to accommodate other languages and text properties.
