You can set up horizontal and vertical guides. As soon as a frame or drawing that
you have inserted or moved comes near one of the guides it automatically snaps to
that guide – as if guides were magnetic.
This is useful, for example, when you want several picture frames or text frames to
be precisely aligned alongside one another.
Enabling the “Snap to guides” function
Before attempting to use guides, you should check to see if the Snap to guides
option is enabled.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Invoke the command Object > Guides & Grid.
2. On the Guides property sheet, make sure that the Snap to guides option is
enabled.
If this option is disabled, the guides can still be displayed and changed, but they
will not have any effect on the insertion and repositioning of objects.
Showing the guides on the screen
In addition, the display of the guides should be enabled.
You can check this as follows:
1. Invoke the Tools > Options command.
2. Switch to the View property sheet.
3. Make sure that the Guides option in the Document window group box is
checked.
Note: Guidelines are displayed on the screen only; they do not appear on the
printed page.
Adding guides under menu control
To set up new guides, do the following:
1. Invoke Object > Guides & Grid.
