Hierarchy

Use this menu item if you want to define the hierarchy in which objects in frames and frames in pages should be placed. When we talk about 'in the back', it means that a frame is placed directly on the page. 'In the front' describes when a frame is the topmost frame on a document page.

Frames and objects, which are placed in the back, will be output first on screen and in print. The frames and objects in the front may cover those in the back.

Bring to Front

This menu item lets the selected object become the topmost object with a single mouse click.

Bring Forward

Use this menu item to bring an object one step forward in the hierarchy.

Send Backward

Use this menu item to send an object one step backward in the hierarchy.

Send to Back

This menu item lets the selected object become the backmost object in the hierarchy. On output (screen, print, PDF, etc.) it will be drawn as the first object.
