2. Under Horizontal or Vertical, enter the position at which the guideline should
be placed and then click the Set button.
Adding guides with the mouse
Alternatively, you can set up new guides with the mouse:
1. Click on the icon in the Formatting toolbar or invoke the command View >
Object Mode to activate Object mode.
2. Now you can drag vertical guides out of the vertical ruler and horizontal guides
out of the horizontal ruler.
To do this, click with the mouse on one of the rulers and drag the mouse pointer
(left mouse button held down) into the text area. Release the mouse button
when you reach the position at which you would like the guide to be set.
3. Finally, click once more on the icon or invoke View > Object Mode again
in order to exit Object mode.
Note: If the ruler you want to use is not displayed, invoke Tools > Options, switch
to the View property sheet and there enable Horizontal ruler or Vertical ruler as
needed.
Changing the tolerance for guides
By default, a frame or drawing snaps automatically to a guide when it is moved
with the mouse to within 8 pixels of the guide. However, the tolerance level is
customizable. If you raise the tolerance to 20, for example, the object will snap to
the guide when it is at a distance of 20 or fewer pixels from the guide.
To change the tolerance, invoke Object > Guides & Grid, switch to the Guides
property sheet and enter the desired value in pixels in the Tolerance field.
Moving and deleting guides
To delete or reposition a guide, proceed as follows:
Keyboard: Invoke Object > Guides & Grid. To remove a guide, select it from the
list and click the Delete button. To reposition a guide, delete it and then set a new
guide at the desired position.
