Follow these steps to get started in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide which contains shapes you want to reorder. In Figure 1 you can see the sample slide we are using. Note that of the 5 shapes on this slide, all shapes except the heart shape overlap each other. Figure 1: Shapes on a slide.
You have already learned about Dynamic Reorderingof shapes, where all slides objects are placed in an individual layered view suitable for reordering. This may work well when you have a few objectson your slide but is entirely unpractical if your slide has anything over 10 objects. Fortunately, there is a variation of this technique that letsyou only work with the selected slide objects, and any other slide objects that overlap the selection. This option is calledReorder Overlapping Objects. Although this option is called Reorder Overlapping Objects, it actually works with:
- All objects that you select.
- All objects that overlap the object (objects) you select.

- Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide which contains shapes you want to reorder. In Figure 1 you can seethe sample slide we are using. Note that of the 5 shapes on this slide, all shapes except the heart shape overlap each other.
Figure 1: Shapes on a slide- To access the Reorder Overlapping Objects option,select a shape (or shapes). Then access theHome tab of the Ribbon. Within theFormat group, click the Arrange button to bring up the Arrange gallery, as shown inFigure 2. Within this gallery, choose the Reorder Overlapping Objects option (see Figure 2).
Figure 2:Reorder Overlapping Objects option selected within the Arrange gallery- This will bring up the Dynamic Reorder view, as shown in Figure 3. Each slide object is placed on an imaginarytransparent sheet, much like a layer. Note that all shapes on the slide except the non-overlapping heart shape (compare with Figure 1) show upwithin this view on separate layers according to the Z-order in which they have been placed on the slide. Also, note that there are twobuttons: OK and Cancel placed on the bottom right of this view (highlighted in red withinFigure 3).
Figure 3: Shapes overlapping the selection displayed within the Dynamic Reorder view- For reordering, hover your cursor over the layer that contains the shape you want to reorder, and then click to select this layer. For thistutorial, we hovered over the cursor over the layer which contains the green Teardrop shape. Note that the Z-order position of this shape shows upas 1, as shown in Figure 4 below.
Figure 4: Layer containing the Teardrop selected in the Z-order- Now drag the selected layer to the Z-order position you require. We dragged this layer right below all other layers to achieve a Z-order of 4, as shown in Figure 5, below. Now, the Teardrop shape is placed below all other shapes (compareFigures 3 and 5). Click the OK button (or press the Return /Enter key on your keyboard) to apply these changes, and get back to your slide.
Figure 5: Layer containing the Teardrop shape moved to the bottom of all other overlapping shapes- This will take you back to your slide. The shapes now are reordered (compare the position of teardrop shape in Figures 1 and6).
