Floating and Sinking Frames

When you add a frame to a page, it is placed on its own layer. And each time you add a new frame, it is placed on the top layer with the previous frames on layers beneath it. If necessary (when frames overlap one another), you can "float" frames that are on lower layers to bring them forward, and you can "sink" frames to send them backward.

How to Float or Sink Frames

1. Open a page in a page layout.
2. Click on the frame that you want to float (bring forward) or sink (send backward).
3. In the local toolbar, click .
4. From the drop-down menu, select Depth and choose one of the following.
   • Float Floats the selected frame, bringing it forward one level if at least one other frame overlaps it (above it).
   • Sink Sinks the selected frame, sending it backward one level if at least one other frame overlaps it (below it).
   • Sink To Bottom Sinks the selected frame, sending it backward to the bottom level if at least one other frame overlaps it (below it).
   • Float To Top Floats the selected frame, bringing it forward to the top level if at least one other frame overlaps it (above it).
5. Click to save your work.
