Moving items to a different layer
The Layers palette provides three methods for moving existing items to a different layer.
Using the Item tool , select the items you want to move, and then do one of the following
things:
•
Click the Move Item to Layer button , and then choose the target layer in the Move
Items dialog box.
•
Drag the Item icon to the target layer.
• Cut the items from their current layer and paste them on the target layer.
To place a copy of an item on a different layer, press Control/Ctrl while dragging the Item
icon to the target layer in the Layers palette.
You can move master page items on layout pages from the Default layer to other layers,
but those items will no longer be master page items if you do so.
