# Layout Modes

The **RadRichTextEditor** allows you to choose between several layout modes.

* [Paged](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/richtexteditor/getting-started/layout-modes#paged)

* [Flow](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/richtexteditor/getting-started/layout-modes#flow)

* [FlowNoWrap](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/richtexteditor/getting-started/layout-modes#flownowrap)

## Paged

When using the paged mode, the content of the edited document is divided into pages. The size and layout of each page are defined by the **DefaultPageLayoutSettings** property of [RadDocument](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/richtexteditor/document-elements/raddocument) and specifically - the **Width** and **Height** properties of the **PageLayoutSettings** object.

Next, the margins of the control in a page are specified by the **PageMargin** property of each [Section](https://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/documentation/controls/richtexteditor/document-elements/section).

In **Paged** mode, resizing a **RadRichTextEditor** will not affect the document layout but scroll bars will appear if the document does not fit in the view.

## Flow

In **Flow** layout mode, the document content is not divided into pages. Instead the whole content is displayed as in a  TextBox or RichTextBox. This layout option resembles **MS Word’s Web-Layout** mode. The width of the document is the same as that of the **RadRichTextEditor** and changing the control’s width will also resize the content of the document.

## FlowNoWrap

The **FlowNoWrap** layout mode is similar to the **Flow** layout mode, but it doesn't allow the text in the separate paragraphs to get wrapped when the free space gets exceeded. Instead a horizontal scroll bar will appear.
