Layering objects

You can layer objects within project. The layering affects how the objects will appear to your users, and if objects are overlapping, will determine which object is in the forefront and which object is in the background. The layering of objects is determined by the order of your objects as they are listed in the Project Explorer. When you select any of the layering options for an object, the object's position will be changed accordingly in the Project Explorer.

The example on the right shows three images layered on a page. Notice the order of the objects in the Project Explorer. The top-most object listed in the Project Explorer is on the bottom layer of the page, while the bottom-most object listed in the Project Explorer is on the top layer.

To alter the layering of your objects:

Select the object you want to layer differently.

Right-click on the the object, select Layering, and select the appropriate layering option. Choose from the following options:

Bring to Front	Places the object on the top layer.
Send to Back	Places the object on the bottom layer.
Up one layer	Moves the object one layer closer to the top.
Down one layer	Moves the object one layer closer to the bottom.

You can also force an object to the top layer.
