You cannot have two objects on the same<br>> level. OTOH, as pointed out by a.l.e, you can create and use Layers and<br>> have multiple objects on the same layer, each with its own level. When<br>> you move something up or down in the levels, it is relative to its<br>> current level and objects above and below.<br>> <br>> An entire layer can also be moved up or down, relative to other layers.<br>> <br>> Greg<br>> <br>> <br>> ___<br>> Scribus Mailing List: scribus@lists.scribus.net<br>> Edit your options or unsubscribe:<br>> http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus<br>> See also:<br>> http://wiki.scribus.net<br>> http://forums.scribus.net<br></div> </div></body>
