I found out that ist not the order of the text flow elements in the MIF file but the value of the tag <TextRectID> that determines the order of appearance. If I change that value I can change the order of appearance. Unfortunately there are quite some frames with RectIDs in my documents (more than text frames) and changing the values proves to be a tricky matter with unforeseeable effects. But it seems to be the way to go.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks to all and<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Servus from Austria<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Markus Drenckhan<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:normal'><b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:DE-AT'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:normal'><b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:DE-AT'>Von:</span></b><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:DE-AT'> Roger Shuttleworth [mailto:rshuttleworth@avbasesystems.com] <br><b>Gesendet:</b> Freitag, 13.

If I recall correctly, flows have to be visualized in a z-order (that is, a vertical dimension). That means that, however they appear on a page, they are actually separate layers, each one on top of the previous one.<br><br>However, if you save as MIF and then open the MIF in a text editor, you can identify each text flow:<br><br><TextFlow <br> <TFTag `1_first'><br> <Notes <br> > # end of Notes<br> <Para <br> <Unique 998321><br> <PgfTag `Body'><br> <ParaLine <br> <TextRectID 23><br> > # end of ParaLine<br> > # end of Para<br>> # end of TextFlow<br><br>I suspect that if you cut/paste to change the order, that will reflect in the dialog when you want to import the flow. I just gave it a quick try, and it looks promising.<br><br>There may even be plugins that would do this for you...<br><br>Roger<br><br>Roger Shuttleworth<br>Technical Documentation<br>AV-BASE Systems Inc.<br>1000 Air Ontario Drive, Suite 200<br>London, Ontario<br>N5V 3S4<br>Tel. 519 691-0919 ext. 330<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
