You can change the stacking order of objects on a layer or a page by sending objects to the front or back of other objects. You can also position objects precisely in the stacking order, as well as reverse the stacking order of multiple objects.
The four objects (left) are ordered from top to bottom to create the final image (right).
| To move an object in the stacking order |  |
1. |
Select an object.
|
2. |
Click Arrange  Order, and then click one of the following commands:
|
• |
To front of page — moves the selected object in front of all other objects on the
page
|
• |
To back of page — moves the selected object behind all other objects on the
page
|
• |
To front of layer — moves the selected object in front of all other objects on the
active layer
|
• |
To back of layer — moves the selected object behind all other objects on the
active layer
|
• |
Forward one — moves the selected object forward one position. If the selected
object is in front of all other objects on the active layer, it is moved to the layer
above.
|
• |
Back one — moves the selected object behind one position. If the selected object
is behind all other objects on the selected layer, it is moved to the layer below.
|
• |
In front of — moves the selected object in front of the object that you click in
the drawing window

An object cannot be moved to a locked (non-editable) layer; instead, it is
moved to the closest editable layer. For example, when you apply the To front
of page command, and the topmost layer is locked, the object is moved to the
topmost editable layer. Any objects on the locked layer remain in front of the
object.
|
By default, all objects on the master page appear on top of the objects on other
pages. For information about reordering content on master page layers, see To
move a layer.
|
An Order command is unavailable if the selected object is already positioned
in the specified stacking order. For example, the To front of page command
is unavailable if the object is already in front of all the other objects on the page.
