Remarks

A flow document is designed to "reflow content" depending on window size, device resolution, and other environment variables. It also has a number of built in features including search, viewing modes that optimize readability, and the ability to apply formatting to the flow elements. Flow document is best utilized when ease of reading is the primary document consumption scenario. In contrast, fixed document is useful when fidelity of the source content is essential. For more information about fixed document, see Document Framework Overview.

To view a flow document, it must be contained in a flow document viewer control. There are three types of flow document viewer, which are UXFlowDocumentViewer, UXFlowDocumentPageViewer, and UXFlowDocumentScrollViewer. For further information about these viewers, see the overview of each control.

The following code example shows how to author a simple FlowDocument in a UXFlowDocumentViewer.
