Moving an Object Forward or Backward (Layering Objects)
When objects overlap or when text and objects overlap, you can change the order of objects in the stack.
To move an object in front or in back of text or another object:
-
Select the object you want to move.
-
To move an object a layer at a time, choose Arrange > Bring Forward or Arrange > Send Backward.
-
To move an object to the very top or bottom of the stack, choose Arrange > “Bring to Front” or Arrange > “Send to Back.”
If you frequently layer objects, you can add the Front, Back, Forward, and Backward buttons to the toolbar to work more efficiently. To learn about customizing the toolbar, see The Toolbar.
