Arranging graphics

Arranging a graphic object means to determine its vertical position relative to other

graphic objects or text. Arranging is only relevant when objects are overlapping. You

can choose between four settings, plus a special setting for drawing objects:

Bring to Front

Places the graphic on top of any other graphics or text.

Bring Forward

Brings the graphic one level up in the stack (z-axis). Depending on the number of

overlapping objects, you may need to apply this option several times to obtain the

desired result.

Send Backward

The opposite of Bring Forward; sends the selected graphic one level down in the

object stack.

Send to Back

Sends the selected graphic to the bottom of the stack, so that other graphics and

text cover it.

To Background / To Foreground

Only available for drawing objects; moves the drawing object behind or in front of

the text respectively.

Anchoring graphics

You can anchor graphics as a character or to a page, paragraph, or character. You

can also place graphics in a frame and anchor the frame to a page, paragraph, or

character. Which method you choose depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Here are the ways you can anchor graphics or drawing objects:

To Page

The graphic keeps the same position in relation to the page margins. It does not

move as you add or delete text or other graphics. This method is useful when the

graphic does not need to be visually associated with a particular piece of text. It is

often used when producing newsletters or other documents that are very layout

intensive, or for placing logos in letterheads.

Caution

If you plan to use a document within a master document, do not

anchor graphics To Page because the graphics will disappear from

the master document. See Chapter 13 (Working with Master

Documents) for more information.

To Paragraph

The graphic is associated with a paragraph and moves with the paragraph. It may

be placed in the margin or another location. This method is useful as an

alternative to a table for placing icons beside paragraphs.

To Character

The graphic is associated with a character but is not in the text sequence. It

moves with the paragraph but may be placed in the margin or another location.
