German translation:schwebender Text

Explanation:
"fließtext" ist "wrap-around text", denke ich. Ich erinnere an "floating palette", das wir vor kurzem hatten.

Nur zur Erklärung: \"Fließtext\" ist Text, der um bestimmte unregelmäßige Objekte (wie Grafiken) herum in Textprogrammen herum geführt wird. \"\"Schwebender Text\" scheint, wie \"Schwebepaletten\" einfach Text zu sein, der überallhin in ein Fenster gesetzt werden kann.

Ich habe mich offensichtlich geirrt.
Hier ist wohl wirklich \"schwebender Text\" gemeint.
Harry_Bs Ausführungen sind absolut überzeugend.

New Features

Floating text: With version 4.0, Qimage Pro becomes more than just a way to ensure the highest quality prints from your printer. Enter a new realm of multiple image printing creativity with Qimage Pro 2001 v4.0. The floating text option (accessed via the page editor) allows you to place text anywhere on your page, on top of existing prints or over blank areas, with or without a user defined shadow, with any amount of rotation, and using any font size or style! Each text label can even be linked to an existing print on the page to ensure that where your prints go, your text will go along for the ride, sticking to the print like glue! Use the text labels as headers, footers, or just to spice up your photos on the page to create your own album pages. For full details on the use of the new floating text features, please see the help under "Help", "Contents", "Listing of Major Functions", "Floating Text".

Das entspricht auch dem Prinzip der "floating frames" in Netscape.

Explanation:
that's the only word I can think of when I hear it in that context...although it does not really make sense why a printer would not support a floating text .....that, however, would be the best term to use
