7.10.3 Non-Flow Page Areas
Another special type of page area is the non-flow page area. Unlike regular page areas, non-flow page areas do not participate in the normal flow of the element. The elements in the main flow are never placed in a non-flow page area. The simplest usage for a non-flow area is to create a rectangular box on a page. If no element is attached to the non-flow area, the area appears as a rectangle with the selected border.

A non-flow area can be created in the Layout View like a regular page area. Use the 'Draw Area' button to create the area and after the area is created, right-click on it to open the 'Area Properties' dialog box where it can be marked as a non-flow area by deselecting the 'Flow Area' attribute.
