Ordering controls on documents

You may have controls that you want to overlap, with one control on top of the another that is in the background. You can change the order of a control and display it in front of or behind another control. The ordering options are:

  • Bring to Front

  • Send to Back

  • Bring Forward

  • Send Backward

The last two options are useful if you have three or more controls on the same position and want to incrementally bring one control forward or send it behind but not all the way to the front or back.

For an example of ordering controls, refer to the Document Creation Help.

To order a control

  1. Open the document in the Document Editor. (How?)

  2. Select the control.

  3. On the Format menu, point to Order, and then select one of the options described below:

    • Bring to Front and Send to Back move the control to the very front or back of the document.

    • Use Bring Forward and Send Backward when three or more controls overlap and you want to incrementally bring one control forward or send it back, but not all the way to the front or back.
