Page & Layer Gallery 449

Holding the mouse pointer over the small layer icons will show a thumbnail of the
contents of the layer.
When you have selected a layer (clicked on it, to highlight the layer) the NEW, DUPLICATE
and DELETE buttons on the top of the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY will do as they imply. The
NEW button will create a new blank layer and place it at the top of the stack. You can re-
arrange the order by dragging it to the required position.

The DUPLICATE button will copy the layer and its contents and place it on top of the stack
- that is on top of all other objects on the page.

Layer Properties

This opens the Layer Properties dialog.

Creating layers and editing layer properties
Using the Layer tab you can:

• Create a new layer or edit an existing one.
• Make the layer editable and visible by default.
• Define the layer as a web page background that will not appear when printed.
• Specify that all objects in the layer will only repel text objects (on page 236) within the
same layer. This prevents text on the layer being repelled by objects in other layers
and is useful for popup layers in web pages.
