• For single selected objects.  For more information about selecting objects, click here.
  
  • Move to Back: This moves an item that overlaps one or more objects to the end of the sequence.
  • Move to Backwards: This moves an item that overlaps one or more objects one item backwards.
  • Move to Front: This moves an item that is being overlapped by one or more objects in the front of the sequence.
  • Move to Forward: This moves an item that is being overlapped by one or more objects one item forward.
    
• Examples:
  
  
  
  Here we see three text boxes  are overlapping each other.  The second box is highlighted.  If we select, Format/Move to Back, the second box would be moved to the back like the image below.  The lack of text indicates that the second text box is now behind the first. 
  
  
  
  If we have selected Format/Move to Front, the second box would be moved to the front like the image below.  This is indicated by the third text box not being shown.
