Copying and pasting items between layers
There is an option in the Layers palette that allows you to set Paste To Remember Layers.
Placeholder for image of the Layers palette.
This option is turned on by default. When it is on and one or more items are copied and
pasted, then the elements will be pasted on the same layer from which they were copied.
Layer matching is done by name, so if the item comes from a different document with
different layer names, a new layer with that name will be created.
If the preference is turned off, all items will be pasted on the layer that is currently active.
Changing the stacking order of layers
Stacking on a layer works the same way it does on a "plain" page. Within a layer, each item
has its own position in the stacking order (the front-to-back positioning of the items on
the layer). When you draw items on a layer, new items are stacked in front of existing
items on that layer. You can use the Send to Back, Send Backward, Bring to Front, and
Bring Forward commands (Item menu) to change the stacking order of items within a
layer, but these commands do not move items to different layers. However, everything on
a front layer displays in front of everything on a rear layer.
To change the stacking order of layers, you can drag a layer to a new position in the Layers
palette. (The layer at the top of the Layers palette is the frontmost layer of the layout.)
Layers and text runaround
Items on layers follow the standard runaround rule in QuarkXPress: Text can only wrap
around items that are in front of that text. For example, if you draw a small picture box
in the center of a column of text, the text will wrap around the picture box by default.
