Move Text Box to the front (or push to the back)

Mike Binks

I can't believe that I haven't had to do this before!

But I can't find how to get my 'Canceled' text box to sit in front of the existing box.

Help before 08:00 on Easter Sunday would be appreciated.. ;-)

I don't see a tool for adjusting the order of layers, but doesn't Proclaim display the last text item added on top? So just add the "cancelled" as a new text box and it should be in front. 

A workaround would be to right-click the preview, save it as an image, add the image as the background, and then put the textbox on the new "dumb" screen.

No, strangely it doesn't - and I haven't worked out what system they are using because no matter which order I loaded the text boxes the 'Cancelled' box always went to the back. [:(]

Brilliant lateral thinking and duly put into practice.

There is no limit to how helpful I can be when I am avoiding the work I should be doing. [:)]

We are actively working on a new feature that will allow you to send objects forward / backward, or to the front / back of the 'z index' for situations like this.
