Center - centers your text vertically in the Text Safe Area.

Bottom - aligns your text just above the lower limit of the Text Safe Area.

DEPTH CONTROL

Text and objects on the Canvas which occupy the same space are normally displayed in the order
created – ‘oldest’ items to the rear, as it were, with newer object in front. The depth controls in
this section permit you to modify this order. Select an object (or line of text) and click once to
move one step relative to other objects.

Bring Forward – move the selected item forward

Send Backward – move the selected item back

Note: The Layer section of the tabbed Control Panel discussed a bit further on in this chapter
provides an alternative (and often more convenient method) of re-ordering objects and text.

GROUP /UNGROUP

Even though each line of text and graphic object is really a separate entity, you can select
multiple lines and Group them together to respond to modifications in unison.

The UnGroup button undoes the union. Hold down the Ctrl key while clicking multiple items or
lines of text and press the Group button. The bounding boxes are now replaced by a single
bounding box. Hit UnGroup again, and the lines become separate entities once more.
