Guides
are temporary horizontal and vertical lines that you can set up within your
document to produce page layout with mathematical precision. They are not actually
drawn into your document; they exist only on-screen to help you with your layout.
Guides
are useful because they help keep all parts of the document aligned properly,
and they assist when measuring with the rulers. The
Rulers
must be shown in order to
insert
Guides
.
INSERTING GUIDES
To insert a
Guide
, place your pointer on the horizontal (or vertical) ruler at the top of
your document. Click and drag down onto the document where you would like your
guide to be. You should notice a dotted line that correlates with the movement of your
pointer. Measure the distance you are pulling your
Guide
down at by using the vertical
(horizontal) ruler on the left of your document. The
Guide
will appear as a thin aqua line.
If you do not like where you placed your
Guide
, you can move it to another part of the
document by clicking and dragging it, or, you can remove it completely by dragging it off
of the document.
"SNAP TO" GUIDES
Snapping to a
Guide
is like “magnetizing” it. If you drag an image or element near a
Guide
(within a fraction of an inch), the image or element will lock into place with the
Guide
. To turn snapping on or off, click
View > Grids and Guides > Snap to Guides
(

.
HIDING GUIDES
If you would like to view your document without the aid of the
Guides
, you can hide
them temporarily by going to
View > Grids and Guides > Hide Guides
(

)
.
