How do I bring an object to the front in PowerPoint?

Bringing an object to the front in PowerPoint is a simple task that can make a big difference in the design and organization of your slides. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

  1. Click on the object that you want to bring to the front.
  2. Go to the “Home” tab located on the Ribbon.
  3. Find the “Drawing” group, which is typically located on the right-hand side.
  4. Click on the “Arrange” button. A dropdown menu will appear.
  5. From the dropdown menu, click on the “Bring to Front” option. If you want the object to be in front of all others, select “Bring to Front.” If you want it to move up only one layer, select “Bring Forward.”

And that’s it! You’ve successfully brought an object to the front in PowerPoint. It’s a simple yet effective way to manage the layering of items on your slides, ensuring that important elements aren’t obscured by others.
