It would be amazing if you could format text boxes so that the text can flow from one text box to another.  This is helpful when you are trying to layout text around pictures in a Lucidchart document.

Hi Vanessa thanks for posting in the Lucid Community - this is a great idea! It isn't currently supported in Lucidchart but I definitely understand how that text-wrapping behavior would be beneficial in the scenario you described. I've logged your feedback for review by our development team; they utilize requests like this when prioritizing improvements to Lucidchart. If you'd like to share additional details about your use case or what you'd like to see in this experience we'd love to hear more via this thread or our feature request form. Thanks for your request!

@Micah, I would upvote ​@Vanessa C101’s functionality request. I document systems landscapes, and those landscapes include descriptive text. It would really be helpful to break that descriptive content into columns/text boxes and flow the text into and between them. 

I know Lucidchart is not a text publishing platform, but readability impacts diagrams in much the same way.
