guides.
Working with ruler guides
You can change the attributes of individual ruler guides, and move, cut, copy, paste, or
delete multiple ruler guides simultaneously. Cut or copied ruler guides can be pasted to
other pages
or documents, but not to other programs. To change attributes of specific guides, you
must select the guides you want to change. When no guides are selected, the Ruler Guides
command sets the defaults for new guides only.
To show or hide all margin, column, and ruler guides:
Choose View > Show/Hide Guides.
To lock or unlock all ruler guides:
Choose View > Lock Guides to select or deselect the menu command.
To show, hide, lock, or unlock ruler guides on one layer only:
1
In the Layers palette, double-click the layer name.
2
In the Layer Options dialog box, select or deselect Show Guides or Lock Guides, and
then click OK.
To select a ruler guide:
Using the selection tool or the direct-selection tool , click the guide to highlight it in
its layer color. No additional handles or anchor points appear on selected ruler guides, the
way they do on other selected objects.
If you can’t select a ruler guide and the View > Lock Guides command is already
deselected, the guide might be on that page’s master, or on a layer where guides
are locked.
To select multiple ruler guides:
Using the selection or direct-selection tool, hold down Shift as you click guides. You can
also drag over multiple guides, as long as the selection marquee doesn’t touch or enclose
any other object.
To select all ruler guides on the target spread:
Press Ctrl+Alt+G (Windows) or G (Mac OS).
To move ruler guides:
Using the selection or direct-selection tool, do one of the following:
•
Drag a ruler guide.
•
Select multiple ruler guides, and then drag them.
•
Move selected guides just as you would any other selected object, including nudging
with the arrow keys and using the Transform palette. (See
“Moving objects” on
page 275
.)
