If you have two objects that overlap on the slide, you need to select the object you want to

appear in front by setting the stacking order. Changing the stacking order consists of moving
objects to the back and front of the slide "stage." The key point to remember is that objects at
the back of the stage appear behind other objects. Use one of the following methods to set the
stacking order.
In Edit view, right-click an object on the slide and select one of the object order options. If
■
necessary, right-click other objects on the slide and adjust their order.
In Edit view, on the Timeline, move the mouse over an object until the hand appears and
■
drag the object up or down to change its position in the stacking order. Moving an object
higher in the stacking order moves it to the front of the stage, while moving an object lower
moves it to the back of the stage.
