You can also control which object(s) are on top of other objects. This is very useful when objects overlap each other in the layout and you wish to determine which is on top. To change the order of selected object(s), choose Home→Editing→Arrange and then select a command from the list in the Order Objects portion of the gallery (or right-click on selected object(s) and choose a menu item under Order).

 

The commands function as follows:

 

• Bring to Front

 

Brings the selected object(s) to the front of all overlapping objects.

 

• Send to Back

 

Sends the selected object(s) all the way to the back of all other overlapping objects.

 

• Bring Forward

 

Brings the selected object(s) one level towards the top of all other overlapping objects.

 

• Send Backward

 

Sends the selected object one level towards the back of all the other overlapping objects.

 

 

Figure 4.40 demonstrates the results when you rearrange the order of the red circle and the green rectangle.
