InDesign uses
Layers
like many other current software programs.
Layers
allow you to
overlap objects within the document. Each time you create a new object, a new
Layer
is
created. Frequently, you will want to adjust the layering of the objects within a document.
InDesign allows you to quickly stack objects “above” and “below” using a function called
Arranging
.
The images below demonstrate the concept of arranging layers within the document
(
Fig. 21
). This particular image contains five
Layers
: a yellow background box, a red
box, a blue box, a green ellipse, and the text
Element
. Notice how the layering of the red
box has been adjusted in each panel.
Although you may think of these layers as being "above" and "below" one another,
InDesign uses the terms
Forward
and
Backward
. To move an object forwards or
backwards within the Layers, select the object you wish to move and click
Object >
Arrange > Bring Forward
(or
Send Backwards
). Additionally, you can move an object
to the very front of the page (above all other Layers), or to the very back (below all
Layers
) by clicking
Object > Arrange > Bring to Front
(or
Send to Back
to put it below
everything else).
Fig. 21 Shows how the different shapes can be arranged to lay on top of each other
