Changing object order

If several objects overlap, you can determine the display order of these objects (which object is in the foreground, which is in the background, etc.).

To do so, proceed as follows:

1.Select the Object tool icon_tool_object in the Quick access toolbar.
2.Right-click on the desired object.
3.Choose the command Arrange in the context menu. The program will open a submenu with the following commands:
Bring to Front: This option brings the object in front of all other objects.
Send to Back: This option sends the object behind all other objects.
Bring Forward: This option brings the object forward by one level.
Send Backward: This option sends the object back by one level.
Send To Layer: This option assign objects to another layer if you have opened a document that has an existing layer structure. For more information, see Layers.

Tip: On the ribbon tab Format | group Size and position, you will also find these commands via the Bring to front and Send to back buttons.
