133 <p>If set, the frame follows the text flow and doesn't leaves the layout
134 environment, which is given by its anchor, above and below.
135 E.g.: Anchor resides in the document body then the frame doesn't leave
136 the document body above and below and follows the text flow through
137 the document bodies of the different pages.
139 If not set, the frame doesn't follow the text flow and stays on the page,
140 on which its anchor is found, but it may leave the layout environment,
141 which is given by its anchor.
142 E.g.: Anchor resides in the document body then the frame stays on page,
143 where this document body is, but it could leave the document body above
144 and below, e.g. overlapping with the page header.
146 Note: The areas for the vertical orientation relation at page areas are
147 interpreted in dependence to this property (@see BaseFrameProperties.VertOrientRelation).
148 If property is set, the page area is interpreted as the layout environment,
149 given by its anchor. E.g.: Anchor resides in the page header then the
150 page header determines the page area. If property isn't set, the page area is
151 determined by the document page, the anchor is on. E.g.: Anchor resides
152 in the page header then the document page, the page header is on, determines
153 the page area.
154 An exception of this interpretation rule is applied, if the anchor resides
155 in a table cell. In this situation the page area is always detemined by
156 the table cell.</p>
