<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Gets or sets the relative Z-order of a shape in a document.</p>
<p>
If <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.WrapFormat.Type.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_WrapFormat_Type">Type</a> is <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.WrapType.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_WrapType_Inline">Inline</a>,
this value does not have any effect when displaying the object, 
but can be maintained and used if the object is subsequently changed to floating. 
</p>
<p>
Each floating shape has a Z-ordering value that determines which shape is displayed when any two objects intersect. 
Higher values indicate higher Z-order; lower values indicate lower Z-order.
</p>
<p>
This property only indicates the Z-order with respect to other shapes in the document that have an identical <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.WrapFormat.BehindText.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_WrapFormat_BehindText">BehindText</a> value.
All shapes with a <a class="xref" href="GrapeCity.Documents.Word.WrapFormat.BehindText.html#GrapeCity_Documents_Word_WrapFormat_BehindText">BehindText</a> value of false are displayed above elements with a value of true.
