Creating Shape Order

Now we need to look at another important concept that we only touched on in a previous hour. To demonstrate, we need to do the following:

1.	Choose another AutoShape type. Select Stars and Banners, Wave (refer to Figure 15.10).
2.	Drag it out over one of the other elements (see Figure 15.11). Figure 15.11. The order settings enable us to decide which objects obscure other objects.
3.	Type in a name for the process shown.
4.	Click outside the AutoShape and click to reselect it.
5.	Click Draw on the Drawing toolbar and select Order.
6.	Alternate between Send to Back and Send to Front.
