The Object List

The Object List allows you to select and manage the objects that have been added to the current page.

NOTE: Objects are added to the page using the Images and Objects groups on the Home ribbon.

Objects are arranged on the page in layers. Objects are listed according to their layer position. The object occupying the top most layer (above all other objects) will appear at the top of the Object List. The object occupying the bottom most layer (below all other objects) will appear at the bottom of the list.

Clicking an object on the object properties list will select it. Objects can also be selected by clicking them on the Design Area. The selected object will have a pale blue border on the design area:

Once an object has been selected, the following commands are available from the Object List to manage it:

 Show / Hide object in preview

This is a toggle button. Clicking Hide will hide the selected object in the Design Area preview of the page. Once hidden, clicking Show will show the selected object in the Design Area preview.

TIP: Show / Hide will not affect the visibility of the object when the project is published. It is intended to it easier to work with objects that overlap with each other in the Design Area.

 Move up

Moves the selected object up one place in the object list (moving it to a higher layer).

 Move down

Moves the selected object down one place in the object list (moving it to a lower layer).

 Bring to front

Moves the selected object to the top of the object list (to the top most layer).

 Send to back

Moves the selected object to the bottom of the object list (to the lowest layer).

 Delete selected object

Deletes the selected object from the page (this does not remove any associated images from the project image library).
