Changing the display order of pages
Page elements can be placed in front of or behind other elements on the page. To control which element appears on top, you need to adjust the display order.
Tip
Use the Elements window to check and manage the current display order of page elements. The list reflects the stacking order from background to foreground.
How to Change the Display Order of Page Elements
Step 1: Select the Elements
Select the page elements for which you want to change the display order. (Refer to Selecting Page Elements for help.)
Step 2: Adjust the Order
Go to Order on the Elements menu and choose one of the following options:
| Menu Item | Function |
|---|---|
| Bring to Front | Place the selected elements at the top (foreground). |
| Bring Forward | Move the selected elements one layer closer to the front. |
| Send to Back | Place the selected elements at the bottom (background). |
| Send Backward | Move the selected elements one layer further to the back. |
Alternative Method: Using the Elements Window
- Ensure the Elements window is visible.
- Click and hold the element in the Elements list.
- Drag and drop the element to a new position in the list to adjust its display order.
- Release the mouse button to confirm the new order.
Important Notes
- Flash elements and web page elements (except those running in screenshot mode) are always placed in front of other page elements, regardless of the specified display order.
- If a page element does not overlap with other elements, adjusting its order (e.g., “Bring Forward”) may have no visible effect.
- If you select multiple elements, display order adjustments will be applied individually to each selected element.
