Gets or sets a value in which way text flows around an image, text frame, signature field or OLE object. The [ObjectCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/objectcurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the object.

### Syntax

```vbscript
TXTextControl.ObjectTextflow [= value]
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Get only: The object is inserted 'as character'. To change the object's mode how it is inserted in the text, the [ObjectInsertionMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/objectinsertionmode-property/llms-full.txt) property must be used. |
| 1 | The object is in front of the text, which means that the object overwrites the text. |
| 2 | The text stops at the top and continues at the bottom of the object. |
| 3 | The text flows around the object and empty areas at the left and right side are filled. |
| 4 | The object is behind the text, which means the text overwrites the object. |

### Data Types

Integer.

### Limitations

Run time only.
