Abstract
An improved mixed object editor flows text around and into irregularly shaped graphic objects on a page so that all the 'white' space on the page is filled. An irregularly shaped window which generally conforms to the shape of the graphic object is first created. Then the boundaries of text lines which intersect the irregularly shaped window are determined. Text is next placed in the available text space.
