Complex documents often contain footnotes or floating objects, which appear differently on pages as the main text. In fact, the content of such complex documents use several flows, one for the main text, one for the footnotes, one for floats, and still another one for two column text.

After creating a floating object, you may control its position using
The page breaking may be controlled very precisely by the user inside
You may also allow the page breaking algorithm to enlarge or reduce
the length of pages in exceptional cases in the submenu is default; a smaller

may decrease.
