Hello and welcome.
In this video we will show an interesting PowerPoint functionality which will allow you to control the
order according to which objects are shown in your slides in the slide that we have here.
There are two objects that overlap each other.
The bring two front and center back functionalities allow us to decide which object should be visible
in front of the other.
The visibility of objects is determined by their ordering an object can block the sight of another.
If it has a higher order by default PowerPoint it gives a higher order to newer objects and they block
the sight of the objects that were previously in the slide.
The order can be modified using the following commands send to back send backwards bring to front bring
forward we can find them in several ways they are both in the home and format tabs in the Home tab they
are under a range while in the Format tab there are two buttons called bring forward and send backward.
A third option is to select the object right click on it with the mouse and directly select the type
of action that we would like to carry out.
OK so let's bring to the front the object which is overlapped here.
We will select it right click on it and press bring to front and here it is the selected object was
placed at the front.
Let's send it to the back for the purposes of this exercise.
I'll click send to back and the light blue box is again partially hidden by the dark blue box.
Send to back puts the object at the last position in the ordering behind all others while send backwards
moves it one step to the back.
The same applies for bring to front and bring forward the difference between center back and send backwards
is visible when there are multiple objects on the sheet I will insert a new box to the sheet and color
it in yellow as I want it to be easily recognizable
the light blue and the dark blue boxes are both overlapped by the new box What if we wanted to bring
forward only the dark blue box.
In that case we can use the bring forward command the yellow box remains in front of the light blue
box but it is behind the dark blue box the same example is valid for the send backward command.
This is how we can arrange the order of appearance of objects in PowerPoint presentations thank you
for watching.
